Hello Michel,

First of all, import the data you have in excel by doing so:

PROC IMPORT OUT= y
DATAFILE= "full path of the excel file.xls"
DBMS=EXCEL2000 REPLACE;
GETNAMES=YES;
RUN;

First row of your excel file should contain the name of your variables.
Then you can replace previous observations from your previous dataset.

DATA x;
SET Y;
RUN;

Regards,
Florent

HI michel,
Im not sure l unnderstand exactly, but my solution to your problem is this:


1)Import your excel data to sas , for the example i will call her b
2)than use the proc append procedure ,it looks like this:
To the main table i will call a

proc append base=a
data=b;
run;
