You should clarify what "the variables that tend to be in more than one row"
are? Apart from that, have you tried csv as an alternative to xlsx?

Subject: st: RE: RE: reading in multiple worksheet excel data
Hi
Has anyone ever tried importing files from .xlsx files. I tried using
insheet but unfortunately it does not recognize the file extension.
Considering that the file is very large it does not allow me to open in a
Excel 2003 format. Also if I save my file in a text document that I am
unable to import the variables that tend to be in more than one row.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Sachin

I would think the easiest thing to do would be to make an Excel macro
that pages through the sheets and exports the active one to a text file.
You could then switch to Stata and have a do-file read them in using
insheet.

Subject: st: reading in multiple worksheet excel data
Hello All,
I often work with excel files comprising of multiple
worksheets. Is
there a simple way to read into Stata a single sheet from such a file
(something that mimics the insheet command for single sheet excel
files)?
Sincerely,
Murali Kuchibhotla
