I am trying to get a HTML file to upload to Sharepoint in a way it is accessible for all users, the HTML file once correctly uploaded will read off of a sharepoint list for the data, it is a sales values table, with the sharepoint list being full of raw data. Having done research on this I decided that embed web part would be the best solution for this. Our Sharepoint inherently has a bit of a problem, where some of our sharepoint sites are displayed on classic sharepoint, and some show through modern sharepoint, making it difficult to figure out exactly how I can do this. It also doesn't help that this is my first project in IT, so I don't have the knowledge basis of your average IT guy, I'm still learning as I'm going along. I'm hoping somebody can help me to the easiest way to carry out this project, exactly where my sharepoint list should be, and where exactly do I 'save' my HTML Code, how to get them to link and have the html file refresh to reflect new data

If you already have the HTML file created and it's hosted somewhere external to SharePoint, then you can do this.
For Sharepoint Classic, you can use the Page Viewer web part. You insert the web part as usual, then browse to Media and Content > Web Viewer. (Microsoft has a step-by-step answer.)
For modern sites, that feature has been removed. I was in the same situation as you were and couldn't find a way to even halfway approximate the functionality and in the end, had to abandon the quest.
