Dear all,
I wish to read in my Excel data via libname but SAS doesn't read in all the columns when I open it.
Here is my SAS syntax if you could please tell me what's wrong with it?
Thank you very much.
perhaps you could post an example excel file where this problem occurs. I cannot tell much from what you have posted.
Check the columns have been defined like a table. All of them must have a name (first row) that conforms SAS naming conventions.
Putting a missing column in between will stop the reading at that point.
As the conversion Excel/SAS using libnames is based on range definitions. You could define a named range in Excel.
Thanks for your reply.
I checked that there is neither a missing column nor invalid SAS naming conventions.
I managed to read in all my data by proc import with GUESSINGROWS=2147483647; statement and I still don't understand why I can't do it with libname statement :smileyconfused:
Because I need to meet deadline I'll just use proc import for now
