Need to read the .xlsx files from folders in an url

Santt0sh — Wed, 17 May 2023 17:00:27 GMT

Hi All,

I am trying to read .Xlsx files from an url (Share point) into SAS as Sas datasets.

I have tried file name url but it didn’t work for me.

HTTPS:// abcbankone.sharepoint.com/sites/2500-07100/Trn/forms/Allitems.asps?noAuthredirect=1

This location has folders

Folder one Transactions
Next folder folderA,FolderB …..
Folder All trans
Folder 1 Trn 2021
Folder 2 Trn 2022
Folder 3 Trn 2023
And so on…
I tried mapping the url to a folder on my desktop but now not able to map it.

I have tried using file name url but it didn’t help

Thanks

Looks like you don't have folders at all, but are instead using some plug-in to Windows Explorer to make the files in Sharepoint look like they are actually files on a network share.

I think there have been other posts on this site about how to extract files from Sharepoint.

Whatever method you use you will probably need to first copy the file out of the Sharepoint server and into a physical xlsx file on the machine where SAS is running before you can use it as data with the XLSX engine.
