How do I import a particular column in Excel which utilize Formula to generate values using PROC IMPORT?
I am using following code and per my understanding SAS should automatically generate values in the field solving formula.
Ex. Excel File: COL_C is based on the formula (100-COLA).
proc import datafile= "..\Temp\test.xlsx" dbms=xlsx out= test replace;
sheet="temp";
getnames=YES;
run; quit;
While importing, COLA and COLB gets correct value while COLC is generating all missing values.
Impossible (for me at least) to tell without seeing the file.

Do you get any messages in the log? Post the code and messages from the log.
Is he formula actually: = 100 - A2
or does is have one of $ modifiers like = 100 - A$2 or 100 - $A2 ?
Does the cell address reference the result of another cell containing a formula?
Also depending on spreadsheet the variable may be getting assigned a numeric variable type in SAS but for some reason the result of the forumla is behaving like character and hence gets a missing value in SAS.
Easiest may be to SAVE As CSV and import the resulting CSV file.
