Hi Experts:
I’m trying to learn macro. I have an Excel2010 file with multiple worksheets and their names all end with “_rpt”. For example the first tab’s name is Sales_rpt and the second is Budget_rpt. I want to write a macro that makes it easier for me to create SAS dataset from specified sheets.
Here is my failed attempt to create a SAS dataset called Sales by using a data step reading in the Sales_rpt worksheet.
What did I do wrong?
Thank you!
Libname rpt ‘….xlsx';
%macro getdata(DSN);
Data work.&DSN;
set rpt."&DSN_rpt$"n;
run;
%mend;
%getdata(Sales)
Hi,
try
Libname rpt ‘….xlsx';
%macro getdata(DSN);
Data work.&DSN;
set rpt."&DSN._rpt$"n;
run;
%mend;
%getdata(Sales)
/* you need a . after macro variable &dsn. */
