In the past, I have created spreadsheets as .xml files, and then distributed them to appropriate individuals.

Now, I have a need to read data from an archive of these .xml files.

Does anyone have an example of SAS code to read spreadsheets from .xml files?

Maybe you can get somewhere with this but I don't know much about details.

Start with this XML map http://support.sas.com/kb/45/addl/fusion_45192_1_excelxp.map

You will need a libname to point to the XML with with XMLMAP option pointing to the file in the

libname MYXML xml "path-to-myxmlfile.xml" xmlmap="path-excelxp.map";

The try proc datasets or contents to see names of the objects in the library and work your way from there.
