How to combine List and Library into one view in SharePoint online

Question

I really need help. I know in "SharePoint 2010" we could combine the view of List and Library into one view, but now in "SharePoint Online" I do not know how. I do not want to export or import data from excel. I want to be able to pull the data from my List and Library data in SharePoint. I do not want to export and or import anything. I want to be able to use the data from the List and Library from my SharePoint Online only. Is there a way to combine the different data into one view? I do not know if I have to use SharePoint Designer, a specific web app part, or there is a setting that I am not trying?

Thank You.

Absolutely! You can do this without SharePoint Designer or any coding, importing or exporting. It's actually something SharePoint does really well.

To achieve this:

• Ensure both the list and library are on the same site.
• Navigate to either the "home" page (aka default page) of the site, or a custom page that allows webparts (e.g. /Pages/MyCustomDashboardPage.aspx) where you want to "combine" the two views
• Open the page in edit mode
• Click to add webparts, either from the page itself or the ribbon bar
• Find your list webpart and add it
• Add another webpart
• Find your library webpart and add it
• Arrange the webparts on the page however you'd like

Hope this helps!
