Sending Excel worksheet to open in SAS through Excel VBA

[jos283]

How do I open SAS and send my worksheet from Excel to SAS by clicking a button (created by macro) in Excel using VBA?

I have this so far, but not sure if it has started correct or how to proceed.

If anyone has advice or has done it, sharing the VBA code would be most appreciated!

Sub New_Program()

    Set SAS = CreateObject("SAS.Application")
    SAS.Visible = True
    SAS.Wait = True

End Sub

A few years ago I did a Global Forum paper on running SAS from Excel through VBA and ADO.You can find the paper at this link

I think pages 8-11 might be more or less the code you need - it turns a spreadsheet range into a SAS data set but you should be able to adapt it to suit your purposes.

Seems to be a problem best solved by using SAS Addin for MS Office.
