radha009 — Tue, 04 Sep 2018 16:13:17 GMT

i have a spreadsheet with unknown tab names and count with ticket number. i varlist all the tab names. Now using varlist tab names from I want to import data and create for each a table. Please help me

proc sql noprint;
select memname into :varlist1 separated by ' '
from sashelp.vtable
where
libname="XLS"
and memname like '%TKT%';
quit;

from the above all tabs containing tkt are in varlist1. Now i want to loop number of tabs and import data into different tables. ex: i have 3 tab names in varlist1 ( TKT _ SSH, TKT_Weblogic , TKT_PATCH). Please let me know how can i create multiple tables

PROC IMPORT OUT = work.file
DATAFILE="&filepath"
DBMS=XLSX;
Sheet=&varList1.;
getnames = yes;
RUN;

If you already have a libname set up why not use PROC COPY instead. It will copy all worksheets into SAS at once.

You may be able to use the wildcard approach there, not sure if the SELECT statement wildcard will work as shown but it's easy enough to remove.

libname myfiles xlsx 'path tomy excel file';

proc copy in=myfiles out=work;
select TCK_:;
run;
