Export data to excel

Nupur20 — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 04:21:35 GMT

Hi,

I want to export my sas dataset to specific cells in excel.

I am trying to use macro but everytime I run it, my sas stops responding.

Can anyone tell me the macro statement for exporting?

Thanks a ton!

No one can help you if you don't post your code.

According to your code, you are forcing everything into Row 1, Column1. If you have to use DDE, I'd suggest reading some of the key papers that have been written regarding that method. Do a Google search for Vyverman sas dde excel

i would use this

libname xlsout odbc noprompt="dbq=path\name of excel file you want to create ;

driver={microsoft excel driver (*.xls)}; readonly=0";

data xlsout.tabname;

set (data for export);

run;

libname xlsout clear;

run;

quit;
