I am asked to use set statement to concatenate the data of the 3 execl sheets into a SAS data set. And use INDSNAME option in SET statement to record which data is from which worksheet.

But I don't know how. My data has been uploaded.  Anyone could help?

 

Thank you!!

Something like this should do it:

 

libname oil excel "oil_countries.xlsx";

data oil;
  set oil.oil_production
      oil.oil_consumption
      oil.oil_reserves
      indsname = sheet_name
     ;
run;

Thank you for your reply!

 

But the log file shows error.

My code is

libname assign03 excel "oil_countries.xlsx";

data oil;
set assign03.oil_production
assign03.oil_consumption
assign03.oil_reserves
indsname = sheet_name
;
run;

 

Log says

70
71 libname assign03 excel "oil_countries.xlsx";
ERROR: The EXCEL engine cannot be found.
ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME statement.
72
73 data oil;
74 set assign03.oil_production
75 assign03.oil_consumption
76 assign03.oil_reserves
77 indsname = sheet_name
78 ;
ERROR: Libref ASSIGN03 is not assigned.

proc product_status;

proc setinit;

The EXCEL engine will only work if you are running on WIndows.

Try the XLSX engine instead.
