Hi,
I need to import a password protected excel file into sas. I've checked in the forum and i've found someone who suggested to use FILENAME and DDE engine, becouse DDE acceps parameter like a password, but i don't know how to do it.
X '"C:\Documents and Settings\A.xls"';
filename datafile dde 'Excel|C:\Documents and Settings\[A.xls]sheet1!r2c1:r6c3';
data tmp;
infile datafile missover;
input A B C;
run;
Can anybody help me?
I've looked a solution everywhere but i haven't found anything, so if it's not possible to import a protected excel file to sas, please, let me know and at least i will try another solution.
Thanks!
Elena
