Vague question = vague answers.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>So the solution to what I'm assuming is your question, is to use FEXIST to check if the file already exists and if it does then create a new name and repeat until you&nbsp;have a unique name.&nbsp; A common solution is to add a datetime stamp to the end to ensure uniqueness. I'm less of a fan of this option.&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <BLOCKQUOTE><HR /><a href="https://communities.sas.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/192083">@radha009</a> wrote:<BR /> <P>can rename the old file and generate the new excel file. or create a number next to the file.</P> <HR /></BLOCKQUOTE> <P>&nbsp;</P> Thu, 22 Mar 2018 20:14:18 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/export-to-excel-fails-due-to-file-name-already-exist/m-p/447925#M112604 Reeza 2018-03-22T20:14:18Z
