I would like that same functionality for excel.</P> Tue, 16 Oct 2018 12:59:55 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Studio/open-xlsx-file-in-SAS-Studio-not-import/m-p/504697#M6402 gothaggis 2018-10-16T12:59:55Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Studio/open-xlsx-file-in-SAS-Studio-not-import/m-p/504726#M6404 Hi:<BR /> See this posting about how to open a CSV file as text: <A href="https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Studio/How-to-open-a-cvs-file-in-SAS-Studio/m-p/486828#M6046" target="_blank">https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Studio/How-to-open-a-cvs-file-in-SAS-Studio/m-p/486828#M6046</A> <BR /><BR />Cynthia Tue, 16 Oct 2018 14:14:17 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Studio/open-xlsx-file-in-SAS-Studio-not-import/m-p/504726#M6404 Cynthia_sas 2018-10-16T14:14:17Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Studio/open-xlsx-file-in-SAS-Studio-not-import/m-p/504772#M6405 <P>Download the file to your PC and then open it.</P> Tue, 16 Oct 2018 16:52:35 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Studio/open-xlsx-file-in-SAS-Studio-not-import/m-p/504772#M6405 Tom 2018-10-16T16:52:35Z
