how can I import an excel file into sas? I am new to SAS.
Hi. Another approach is to treat the XLS file as a data set. Use a LIBNAME statement and use the SHEET name within the XLS file as shiown in the data step ...
libname x 'z:\test.xls';
data gas_el (keep=dt days eld delc gpd dgas);
set x.'sheet1$'n;
eld = kwh/days; delc = elec/days;
gpd = therms/days; dgas = gas/days;
label
eld = 'KWHS/DAY'
gpd = 'THERMS/DAY'
delc = 'ELEC $/DAY'
dgas = 'GAS $/DAY'
dt = 'DATE'
days = 'DAYS USE'
;
format dt monyy. gas elec delc dgas dollar7.2 eld gpd 5.1;
run;
libname x clear;
data set GAS_EL ...
