Problem Note 32072: Percent or decimal values for Microsoft Excel data might not import correctly using SAS® Enterprise Guide
Certain numeric PC data might not import correctly into SAS Enterprise Guide. This will most likely occur with Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Access data that is either decimal or formatted. For example, an Excel column with a data value like 0.00674064% might by default import into SAS Enterprise Guide as 6.7406361247.
To circumvent the problem, change the Read-In and Display formats in the Import Data task to match that of the data, as in this example, Percent12.10.
