Is this a one time task or will you be reading multiple files with the same format?

 

If this is a one-time then perhaps merging the cells in Excel.

 

If I were to be reading many of these files I would 1)save them to CSV and 2) write a Datastep to read the files and have the code set the variable names and start reading with OBS=3 on the infile statement.

 

Because of other data issues inherit in Excel I would actuall likely go the CSV route anyway.
