Having a data folder with lots of xlsx files, and each xlsx file has several sheets, and one of these sheets is "data1".

How to use Proc IMPORT to read multiple .xlsx files? My following code has some problem.

My SAS:  9.3 (TS1M1)

%let DATAFILE= C:\Users\test\Desktop\test\*.xlsx;

Title "Import multiple .xlsx files";

PROC IMPORT OUT= test

            DATAFILE= "&DATAFILE"

            DBMS=EXCELCS REPLACE ;

     RANGE="data1$";

     SCANTEXT=YES;

     USEDATE=YES;

     SCANTIME=YES;

RUN;
