Import Error?

Hello,

An error message is shown in the log window. How to fix it?

%let dira=%str(Pathway);

filename KC "&dira.\Cost_KC.xlsx";

%macro ttt(site,tab);
proc import datafile=&site. out=&site._&tab. dbms=excel replace; sheet="&tab."; run;
%mend ttt;

%ttt(KC,OPT_Data_Request);

31 %ttt(KC,OPT_Data_Request);

ERROR: File _IMEX_.'OPT_Data_Request$'n.DATA does not exist.
ERROR: Import unsuccessful. See SAS Log for details.

Please do not show ERRORs detached from the code that produced them. Whenever you get an ERROR in the log, SHOW US the ENTIRE log for this macro or PROC or DATA step. When the error is in a macro, please run the command options mprint; before your macro and then run the macro again. Please copy the log as text and paste it into the window that appears when you click on the </> icon

Your log said.
"ERROR: File _IMEX_.'OPT_Data_Request$'n.DATA does not exist."

OPT_Data_Request sheet is in your Excel book "Cost_KC.xlsx"?

Yes, however it is in the read-only mode

In my environments, I could submit your code with no errors although excel book is read-only mode.
But if I change sheet name, I got same error as you got.

Please attach capture image of sheet name if you can.

Thanks for the reminder, I found one letter difference in the sheet name.
