Good morning SAS users:
I have imported some data from excel to SAS and it looks to be hard to fix this, but the dates are now numeric, the interesting is that in the propieties SAS says that this column is made of characters:
How can y caonver this column into date format (mmddyy10.)
Thank you very much
I would generally start by saving the Excel as CSV and import that as import direct from Excel is prolematic. Search this forum to see how many questions there are about Excel and import.
Barring that, you would have to show us exactly what the current character values look like as it will likely depend on using one of many formats to do the proper translation.
