Here is one way to get the tabs imported. In this example, I've used a xls with 3 tabs named TAB1,TAB2 and TAB3.

The Excel sheet is attached below:

%macro xlfile(file);
proc import out= &file
    datafile = '/folders/myfolders/data/SASTABSv5.xls'
    dbms = xls;
    sheet = "&file";
    getnames = yes;
run;
%mend xlfile;
%xlfile(TAB1);
%xlfile(TAB2);
%xlfile(TAB3);

proc contents data=work._all_;

Here is the log for your reference:

 
 1          OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;
 55         
 56         %macro xlfile(file);
 57         proc import out= &file
 58             datafile = '/folders/myfolders/data/SASTABSv5.xls'
 59             dbms = xls;
 60             sheet = "&file";
 61             getnames = yes;
 62         run;
 63         %mend xlfile;
 64         %xlfile(TAB1);

 NOTE: WORK.TAB1 data set was successfully created.

Please clarify what you mean by "how ever i am unable to create data sets,". What is the problem, is there something in the log? Are you unsure of the code? What have you tried? What does the file look like, is it an Excel file (i.e. is it XLSX), sample would be helpful.

ODS Tagsets is used for exporting data, not importing data.

Proc Import and Libname methods may work, assuming you have the correct license, in this case SAS/Access.
