Scenario:
I am attempting to:
1. Import data from an Excel spreadsheet
2. Identify the table from my visual task boards, presumably a Tasks table.
3. Import the data to this tasks table.
Has anyone attempt this or asked the question before for more insight ?
Would appreciate your feedback 🙂

Hi @Love N
So, you want to bring data into ServiceNow and are looking for the right table. If you don’t find an exact or close match, you’ll need to create your own target table.
It also depends on what fields you are providing in your Excel sheet. Check if those fields align with an existing table such as Task, Incident, or any other relevant table. If they do, you can map the data and import it into that table.
Alternatively, you can create a new Visual Task Board (VTB) in free-form mode, where no table is required. However, keep in mind that with free-form VTBs, you cannot import data from Excel—you’ll need to manually create all the tasks there.
If my response proves useful, please indicate its helpfulness by selecting " Accept as Solution" and " Helpful." This action benefits both the community and me.
