using ODS powerpoint: NOGTITLE option

JamesW — Thu, 07 Sep 2017 13:57:13 GMT

Hi there,

I am experimenting with using ods powerpoint, however I am experiencing an issue where the nogtitle option isn't working: the title still appears above the graph I am outputting in addition to at the top of the slide.

(Running SAS 9.4.1)

Any advice would be appreciated 🙂

options nodate nonumber;

ods powerpoint file="test.pptx" nogtitle layout=twocontent;

title1 'title';

proc gplot data=test;
	plot y*x / haxis=axis1 vaxis=axis2 autovref;
run;
quit;

proc odslist;
	item 'bullet1';
	item 'bullet2';
run;

ods powerpoint close

(axis labels and values have been hidden)

Your code works fo for me.

options nodate nonumber;

ods powerpoint file="%sysfunc(pathname(work))\test.pptx" nogtitle layout=twocontent;

title1 'title';

proc gplot data=sashelp.class;
	plot weight*height / autovref;
run;
quit;

proc odslist;
	item 'bullet1';
	item 'bullet2';
run;

%put &=sysvlong;

ods powerpoint close;

SYSVLONG=9.04.01M2P072314

But with

SYSVLONG=9.04.01M4P110916

I get two titles same as OP using @ChrisNZ program.

However switching to SGPLOT

proc sgplot data=sashelp.class;
	scatter x=weight y=height /;
run;

instead of Gplot and the title inside the graph goes away.

So @JamesW may want to try using SGPLOT instead of Gplot.

Thanks for your help, I'll use sgplot in future if I come across the same problem. 🙂

In the mean time, I have been using proc odstext inside an ods layout to create my slide titles, which is more flexible and customisable, so probably a better solution all round.
