I am trying to transfer data from excel to SharePoint, which was very simple to do in old SharePoint vs new.

First its not doing anything using chrome.

Second using IE i am getting error "The information cannot be pasted because the copy area and the paste area are not the same size and shape".

I have tried: *Not clicking directly on cell, instead using arrow to go down to the column/row to paste using CTRL + V

Cant find any other solution that i can try.

Usually you get this error because your data doesn't match its destination. To see what's in your Excel, and how it behaves in SharePoint you could try to create a list of your Excel spreadsheet.

Go to site contents > add an app > Import spreadsheet app

Compare columns between your old list and your new list and see where it differs.
