Read multiple file at a time? 

I have a piece of code. But it will read sheet one by one. i mean i have to call the macro with my particular sheet name. 

is there another way i can read all sheet at a time and create one dataset? 

 

%Macro  Due_Cal(sheet);

Proc import out= Due_date

    Datafile = 'E:\Bank Data Model\project bank\Loan_Congo_Banking.xls'

    Dbms = Excel;

    Sheet = "&sheet";

    Getnames = yes;

run;

%mend   Due_Cal;

 

% Due_Cal (Kinshasa);

Are all the sheets in the excel file the same format? 

Can you save your .xls file as .xlsx file?

What sas version do you use?

 

If your input was a .xlsx file and all your sheets the same format then you could use a code like:

libname myxl xlsx '<path and name>.xlsx';  

data want;
  set myxl.<sheet1_name>
      myxl.<sheet2_name>
     ...
 ; run;

Great advice, use the xlsx engine, but you must have SAS 9.4.  To note, you can simply copy so you don't need to type in each one:

libname myxl xlsx '<path and name>.xlsx'; 

proc copy in=myxl out=work;
run;

libname myxl clear;

Don't forget to clear the file ref afterwards.
