I have a data from excel and trying to create the SAS dataset to comparison.
As shown in the below, my data starts from cell B5 and B4 is my header. With the below i was able to get the data from row 5 but how can i remove the empty column and assign the header with B4 values.
/*excel file*/
A B C D E F

6 102 second 85 hsd mkas ewe
7 Subject name address city state

%macro impo(path=, in=, out=);
%let sfile="\file_path\&in..xlsx";
proc import
datafile=&path
out=&out.
dbms=xlsx replace;
sheet=&sheetbou;
getnames=yes;
datarow=5;
run;
%mend;
%impo(path=&sfile, in=&inbou, out=&prgm);
If you specify the input RANGE including the header, and set GETNAMES = YES, it will work.
Not sure if this works in import but if you leave 0 as the end of the range, it will automatically take the full range.
Worth a try at least.
