SAS itself provides no mechanism for setting a password, and you can't run Excel on a UNIX commandline (it's Windows-only).</P> <P>My personal take: if you want to secure your data, don't use Excel. Put your data in a safe location (directory with limited permissions, access through network share or SSH).</P> Tue, 15 Oct 2019 06:57:53 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/Password-protected-xlsx-file-in-SAS/m-p/596439#M171725 Kurt_Bremser 2019-10-15T06:57:53Z
