Maybe like this:

options validvarname=v7;

proc import datafile="FakeData\TransposeNumNames.xlsx" dbms=xlsx replace out=have;
   sheet= "have";
run;

proc transpose data=have out=transposed(drop=_name_ rename=(col1=mtbv)) label=year;
   by Name;
   var _:;
run;

I won't open any excel files, so i build one using the table you have posted.

You seem to have an Excel issue, you should ask this question in an Excel-centered support forum.

(Numbers are not valid variable names in SAS)

If you want to do this in SAS, provide a SAS dataset in usable form (data step with datalines).

In SAS, use PROC TRANSPOSE to transpose from wide to long, and a follow-up DATA step to convert _NAME_ to year.

by Company_Name;
var _all_;

It worked.
