Save output results with format .png (not graph)

Nathalie1 — Wed, 28 Jun 2023 18:13:20 GMT

Hello,

I would like to save the output of a result table in .png format so that I can then import it into a powerpoint. I searched, but couldn't find an answer. Can you help me ?

For the moment, I take screenshots of my results while for the graphs, a right click allows you to save the graph in .png.

Sincerely yours,

Nathalie

Here, is an example :

data TP.freqs1;
set TP.freqs1;
label grp = 'Groupe' num1 = 'Numérateur' num2 = 'Dénominateur' rapport = 'Pourcentage';
run;
	proc print data=TP.freqs1 noobs label;
where num1 ne .; 
var grp num1 num2 rapport;
run;

proc print data=sashelp.class;
run;
ods printer close;

Thank you very much.

There is a small point to improve, is it possible to remove "the SAS system" and the date?

Sincerely yours,

Nathalie

ods nodate nonumber;

Add that before your proc print.

Also, you know that you can export straight to a PowerPoint file?

No, I don't know. I have to export my graphs and my tables in powerpoint, I am again a beginner (several years of illness) and I am alone to work in my team. In addition, I have to learn R for bioinformatics.🙄

Yes you can output directly to PowerPoint, but you are limited in how much can appear on one slide in PowerPoint, you don't have complete control. There was a recent BASUG talk on this, and there are a lot of drawbacks to sending output directly to PowerPoint. I personally have decided to not even consider that as an option.

True, but if you're planning for a PowerPoint in the end anyways, and you want to make it repeatable, using ODS seems to be a more efficient long run approach. All depends on the use case.

Ideally, someday, HTML5 slides via HTML would be an ideal destination.

Thank you for your help and the links. Is it possible to make an output HTML with tabs ?
