Chapter 2: Creating Your First List

In the previous chapter, we explained the history of Microsoft Lists and reviewed the core functionalities that are available. In this chapter, we will look at the different ways we can create our own lists. We can do this manually by starting with a default, empty list, and adding additional columns as needed. Alternatively, we can reuse existing list structures and create new lists based on Excel spreadsheets or other lists. Finally, we will review how to maintain data in lists.

This chapter will cover the following topics:

  • Personal lists and team lists
  • Creating a blank list
  • Adding and maintaining columns on a list
  • Creating a list from Excel
  • Creating a list from an existing list
  • Maintaining list data
