Hi,

Is there any way that SAS can identify/flag rows that are highlighted in the excel spreadsheet while importing them?
I have a spreadsheet that I need to import. some of the rows have been highlighted which need to assign into a different group using an indicator variable. Is there any way to do this in SAS rather manually doing it in excel before import?

SAS only imports Excel data, not print formating. You could add a column in Excel and flag those rows that are highlighted. There could even be an Excel function you could use in a formula. That's not a SAS question though and you can probably google an answer for that.
