Hi,
LIBNAME MyLibRef EXCEL "C:\MYPATH\MYEXCEL.XLS" ;
gives me errors. Any ideas on what's wrong?
I'm using SAS 9.3 and Excel 2013.
Post the text of the error.
There can be many issues: incorrect path, incorrect filename, file type doesn't match expectation of the engine (xls and xlsx are NOT the same file format), whether you have access to PC Files licensed, system permissions, and that's just a start.

Hi,
I should have specified PCFILES as the engine, not EXCEL:
This works:
LIBNAME MyLibRef PCFILES "C:\MYPATH\MYEXCEL.XLS" ;
Thank you, I appreciate your help.
This always works
libname HELLO pcfiles path = "C:\TEMP\myfile.xlsx" textsize = 32767 ;
DATA MYFILE;
set HELLO.'MYSHEET$'n;
run; libname HELLO clear;
