I have a table that looks like:

 

Event                 Table

---------------------------------

Event_A            Table_A

Event_B            Table_B

 

the 'table' column refers to another table that I need to load so I would like to save the first value under table (Table_A) into a macro variable for further use. (The values under 'Table' are dependent on filtered values from earlier in my program, thus they always change so I can't just hard code the value)

Please post your question as a self-contained data step in the form of "have" (source) and "want" (desired results).
I won't contribute to your post if I can't cut-and-paste your syntactically correct code into SAS.

What do you mean by "further use" if you process the tables using macros, you could use call execute to execute such a macro and pass the value of "Table" as parameter.
