Hi all,
I have been trying below codes to import excel files using do loop and there is no error shown in the log. However, there is no output after I have tried to run below script. Anyone can highlight any error/issues with the below script?
%let s_folder = \\10.64.78.49\Users\88094701\billsinstats;
%macro extract_playerbillin;
data _null_;
startdt = '1Apr2017'd;
enddt = '30Apr2017'd;
call symput('startdt', startdt);
call symput('enddt', enddt);
run;
%do dt=&startdt %to &enddt;
data _null_;
datadate = &dt;
filedate = put(datadate, yymmddn8.);
call symput('filedate', put(datadate, yymmddn8.));
call symput('filepath',"&s_folder\igt_bill_in__&filedate..xlsx");
put filedate ;
run;
%if %sysfunc(fileexist("&filepath")) %then %do;
data _abs_player_billsin;
attrib Date length=8 format=datetime21.2;
attrib Machine length=$10 format=$char10.;
attrib Location length=$10 format=$char10.;
attrib EventCode length=$20 format=$char20.;
attrib Event length=$50 format=$char50.;
attrib ‘Bonus ID’n length=$10 format=$char10.;
attrib Amount length=8 format=best12.;
attrib Staff length=$50 format=$char50.;
attrib ‘ID #’n length=8 format=best20.;
attrib ‘Insert Date’n length=8 format=datetime21.2;
infile "&filepath"

firstobs=2
lrecl=500;
keep Date Machine Location;
run;
%if &dt=&startdt %then %do;
data abs_player_billsin;
set _abs_player_billsin (obs=0);
run;
%end;
proc append
data = _abs_player_billsin
base = abs_player_billsin;
run;
proc datasets lib=work nolist nowarn;
delete _abs_player_billsin;
quit;
%end;
%end;
%mend extract_playerbillin;
%extract_playerbillin;
You can't read a true xlsx file with a data step. XLSX files are zip-compressed XML.
Also use options mprint mlogic to show what the macro is really doing.
Datastep to create the loop, call execute to generate one proc import and either a dataset set or proc append for each value in the given range:
data _null_; do dt='01apr2017'd to '30apr2017'd;
call execute('proc import datafile="'||cats(&filepath.,&filename.,put(dt,date9.),".xlsx")||'" out=tmp replace; run;');
if _n_=1 then call execute('data abs_player_billsin; set tmp; run;');
else call execute('proc append base=abs_player_billsin data=tmp; run;')
end; run;
