Reference
https://github.com/SheetJS/js-xlsx
https://github.com/SheetJS/js-xls
Step 1: First create a SharePoint list and give list name as "EmployeeDetails".
Step 2: Write a below code in HTML file and name it as "ExcelToSPListItems.html". Upload this file into SharePoint assets library. This HTML code file will refer in Content Editor WebPart so please copy file url after upload into assets library.
The below code first will check "Employee ID" in list, if "Employee ID" exist then that item will update current item else new item will create in SharePoint list.
