I want to import an excel file from http://www2.census.gov/acs2005/Tables_Profiles_Subject_Tables/010Nation/United States.xls into SAS. I used the following code. However, It did not work. Could anyone help me out? Thank you so much!!!
FILENAME website url "http://www2.census.gov/acs2005/Tables_Profiles_Subject_Tables/010Nation/United States.xls" debug;
data file;
n=-1;
infile website recfm=s nbyte=n length=len;
input;
file "United States.xls" recfm=n;
put _infile_ $varying32767. len;
run;
PROC IMPORT OUT= input DATAFILE= "United States.xls"
DBMS=xls REPLACE;
SHEET="Base Tables";
GETNAMES=YES;
RUN;
Hi,
Try using a slightly changed URL in your filename statement as follows:
FILENAME website url "http://www2.census.gov/acs2005/Tables_Profiles_Subject_Tables/010Nation/United%20States.xls" debug;
If that does not work then please explain what you meant by "did not work" and share your log with any error messages.

Amir.
