Have: a xlsb file.
Want: import part of the data to SAS EG.
Code used:
%macro Import;
proc import datafile = "&_folderpath&_filepath&_filename" /* pre-defined, no error here */
out = work.test
replace
dbms= xlsb; /* changes were made here*/
range='Sheet1$A3:Z900000'n;
getnames=yes;
run;
%mend Import;
%Import;
run;
One error reported:
ERROR: DBMS type XLSB not valid for import.
Tried to change the code to
dbms= ExcelCS;
One error reported:
ERROR: Statement or Option "GETNAMES" not valid for EXCELCS IMPORT.
The column names come from A3:Z3. Definitely need it.
How to fix the codes?
What about DBMS = EXCEL or XLS? If you have the bitness problem then you can download the 64-bit ACE engine software from Microsoft as an alternative to using the SAS PC File Server.
Have you tried with dbms=excelcs? Getnames unfortunately isn't supported with that dbms from what I can see.
You could specify the range to ensure you have the right variable columns with range='a5:e21'n for example. Alternatively if you can have the range named it works even better.
