Hi folks,   I am attempting to read an xlsx file into SAS without SAS doing anything to modify the the variable types or the characters as they appear when viewing the xlsx file in Excel. In other words, if something looks like a date, regardless of how it's stored in the xlsx file (e.g., "11/25/2023"), it'll show up in sas as a character variable as that same value (e.g., "11/25/2023"). In other words, I'd like to replicate what the Import Data wizard in SAS does when it just defines all fields as character, as in the following attributes for one particular column, for example:   type=String Source Informat=$CHAR29 Len.=29 Output Format=$CHAR29. Output Informat=$CHAR29.   The code automatically generated from the Import Data wizard when I do this contains the DATALINES4 statement, which I can't use because I can't just fill all of these in, as I'm trying to load the data in without having to look at the contents. I'd be fine, though, if I can define the variable types/lengths/formats/etc., as I know what the variables are and what they'll be named.   How do I do this without having to fill in the DATALINES4 content?   I need to be able to specify the sheet within the Excel workbook in question as well.   Thanks!     ...

Hi,   I’m wondering if the IPW weights which are output after running proc causaltrt (method=AIPW) are stabilized weights?   In the user guide, I can’t seem to find an option to request stabilized weights, and after running this proc, the mean for my IPW is slightly greater than 1 (as there are a few observations with quite extreme IPW values).   Thank you in advance,   ...

Good morning.   I'm hoping some can help because I'm out of ideas.   I'm attempting to use ODS Excel to place the page number and number of pages in the footer at a right justify. I've tried the three different methods in the example below.  I've done some searching and found some information but can't seem to get it to work.   I get warning messages such as:    WARNING: Apparent symbolic reference R not resolved. WARNING: Apparent symbolic reference P not resolved. WARNING: Apparent symbolic reference N not resolved.   Can anyone give me a hint as to what I may be doing wrong here?                       options(sheet_interval = 'none'                     sheet_name = 'Sheet Name'                     frozen_headers = '2' row_repeat = '1-2'                     suppress_bylines = 'yes' autofilter = 'all'                     pages_fitwidth = '1'                     pages_fitheight = '50'   /* print_footer = '&R &P & of &N'*/ /* print_footer = 'Page &P & of &N'*/ print_footer = "Page &R &P of &N" /* print_footer = "&;LInstitutional Research and Assessment &R Page &P of &N &Z &F"*/   absolute_column_width = '12, 30, 30, 18, 10, 10, 12, 50');   ...
