Writing from SAS into Specific Excel cells

Hi people,

I have this issue on how you write certain dervied values from SAS Datasets into specific cells in an Excel sheet.

Could you kindly help out using a basic example of trying to write a final figures of 150, 200 and 250 into cells D6, D7 and D8

Thanks

Hi:
I believe you have to do this using the SAS Excel LIBNAME engine and named ranges. If you search on Google or on support.sas.com, you should find some examples of using named ranges to write to specific cells.

I am not sure if this is what you are looking for, but there are several papers by LeRoy Bessler that address similar problems using DDE. Consider:
