I need to create a SAS dataset using excel table name with space. I have tried below which is not working.
libname xlsFile XLSX "/user/path/file.xlsm"; options validvarname=v7; PROC SQL; create table work.excel_table as (select * from xlsFile.'first Sheet$'n); quit;
Using the N literal notation is the correct method. 'Sheet Name$'n
As mentions post your log. Note that it is case sensitive so needs to match Excel exactly.
Please post a pic of library with sheet names as well.
options validvarname=any;
I am still getting error.i.e. not to identify the Sheet name due to space issue.
My actual issue with Excel sheet name with space.
log please?
Thank you so much for helping me. I have fixed this issue by adding single quotes to my sheet name. .i.e. 'first sheet'n
