⚠️ PROBLEM
You receive an error "This table exceeds the maximum number of supported rows" while creating a new SharePoint custom List from Excel. This error will occur in Modern experience and not in Classic SharePoint experience.
⛏️ ANALYSIS
There is no problem with the Excel spreadsheet table data. Data formatted as a table, no blank rows, no blank cells for the Title column, but still getting errors.Check how many rows you have in the selected table. Is it over 20000 ?
✔️ SOLUTION / FIX
This is a limit set by Microsoft. You can import a maximum of 20000 rows from the Excel table. You will receive the error if there are more than 20000 rows in your Excel.If you have more than 20000 entries, the best approach is to select less than 20000 rows in the Excel table and then add more rows using the Quick Edit option.

Comments:
- I liked the Grid view (earlier Quick edit) idea for more than 20k rows. How many rows can I copy at a time from Excel? Having 70k entries to be inserted.

- I cannot import more than 5000 Excel rows, the table always selects only 5000 rows.

- I created a one-time workflow using Power Automate. That is easier.
