You have some lines that do not have values for all of the variables - e.g. Mouse 3 . 

This code assumes that it is the last variable (Day 21)  that is missing - I can't tell from your formatting if this is a valid assumption .

How do I upload a text file so the formatting is not off? This is the file.

you initially said this was your code

PROC IMPORT datafile=mouse;
Mouse; Day3; Day6;   Day9;   Day12;   Day15; Day18; Day21;

that would be the incorrect way to create a dataset , because you don't use proc import and then type in the values.

Are you saying your data is actually in an external file?

Hi @harveysarah0 

Here is one approach using datelines (you write the values in the code). The The double trailing @@ is useful to indicate that a record needs to be reread on the next iteration of the DATA step.

DLM="09"x indicates that values are separated by a tabulation.

DSD indicates that there can be missing values (two delimiters are not interpreted as a single one).

data mouse;
	infile datalines dlm="09"x dsd;
	input Mouse	Day3 Day6 Day9 Day12 Day15 Day18 Day21 @@;
	datalines;

You can also directly import the txt file:

proc import datafile="/path/MiceWeight.txt" /*update the physical path*/
	        out=mouse
	        dbms=tab
	        replace;
run;

At the top of the message window is a row of icons. If you click on the one that looks like {I} then you will get a code box that treats pasted text as is and will not reformat. The result will look something like

This is my plain text
1   2    3
5   6    999

Or the "running man" icon, which will provide syntax highlighting for SAS code.

I still receive this error after fixing my formatting.

It does not look properly formatted here but I lined everything up in SAS.
