Problem Note 60744: International currencies might be read as US dollar currencies when using the XLSX driver
 |  |  |  |  |
International accounting formats such as EURO might be translated to the DOLLAR format when importing Microsoft Excel files into SAS® using the XLSX driver.
As a workaround, apply the appropriate currency format using the FORMAT statement. An example is shown below using different formats:
proc import
datafile="C:\excelfiles\several_currencies.xlsx"
dbms=xlsx out=mydata;
format interest_due NLMNLGBP12.2 PPI_due NLMNLUSD12.2 OCL_due NLMNLEUR12.2
Return_pymt_due NLBEST12. Late_fee_due NLMNIUSD12.2 BT_fee_due NLBEST12.
MT_fee_due NLBEST12. AMF_due NLBEST12. NSTF_due NLMNICHF12.2 total_remediation
NLBEST12.;
run;
datafile="C:\excelfiles\several_currencies.xlsx"
dbms=xlsx out=mydata;
format interest_due NLMNLGBP12.2 PPI_due NLMNLUSD12.2 OCL_due NLMNLEUR12.2
Return_pymt_due NLBEST12. Late_fee_due NLMNIUSD12.2 BT_fee_due NLBEST12.
MT_fee_due NLBEST12. AMF_due NLBEST12. NSTF_due NLMNICHF12.2 total_remediation
