PROC Star

Here's slightly more automated version where the workbook tab names are used for the SAS dataset names. This means the tabs should be named using SAS naming conventions (A-Z, 0-9, underscores only and no blanks):

%macro Import_Excel_Workbook ( Excel_Libname = INXLSX

                              ,Excel_File =

                              ,SAS_Libname = WORK

                             );

%if &Excel_File ne %then %do;

  libname &excel_libname excel "&Excel_File"

%end;

%if (%sysfunc(libref(&excel_libname))) %then

  %put %sysfunc(sysmsg());

%else %do;

%let tmp_sheetlist1 = ;

proc sql noprint ;

select  nliteral(memname)

       ,memname

into  :tmp_sheetlist1 separated by ' '

     ,:dummy

from dictionary.members

where libname = "%upcase(&excel_libname.)" and memname not contains '#'

order by memname

;

quit ;

proc datasets library = &SAS_libname nolist;

  copy in = &excel_libname out = &SAS_libname;

  select &tmp_sheetlist1;

  run;

quit;

  %if &Excel_File ne %then %do;

libname &excel_libname clear; 

  %end;

%end;

%mend Import_Excel_Workbook;
