PPT for SAS dataset

Hi All,

I want to create a ppt file using SAS dataset.

Is there any procedure or ods template to do that.

A simple google search, or search on here would have answered your question, e.g:

Thanks for reply.

But ods powerpoint is not working (SAS version is 9.2).

I have searched on google also but they have used dde which is not working.

Any other way to create ppt in SAS 9.2 version

Time to move up to a modern version then, 9.2 is very old. I would create the outputs in another means, then combine into a powerpoint manually, e.g. pdfs/rtf etc. But moving to a newer version would certainly simplify your process.

You can try DDE or Add In for Microsoft if you have those as options. Otherwise, 9.2 is pretty old and upgrades are included with your license.

Note that Microsoft disabled DDE in December 2017 due to security issues, so you may not have that enabled, depending on your security settings.
