Hi everyone,
I am trying to read in an excel file (attached) into SAS with column headers starting in row 2. My objective is to get SAS to recognise that column names are in row 2 and therefore pick these up as column names.
What I have written so far is:
options validvarname=v7;
libname contact xlsx '/home/frupaul0/Lucamod/Contact.xlsx';
proc print data=contact.contact_info;
run;
And what I get from this is (partial output):
So SAS has considered the column headers in row to to be variable values.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks,
Export to csv from Excel and read with a custom data step, or remove the first line in Excel.
Both libname xlsx and proc import do not support variable names in a line other than the first.
