Split SAS Output into multiple Sheets

vomer — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 16:03:11 GMT

Hi Guys,

I have a dataset with ~70,000 + rows. My version of excel cannot handle this amount but I still need to have the dataset exported to excel.

Is there any way / code that I can use to get sas to split the data output across multple sheets in exel after it hits row limit?

Using ods, dde or proc export?

I would liek to know about both DDE and proc export if possible

Re: Split SAS Output into multiple Sheets

Hima — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 16:41:21 GMT

proc export data = dataset_name

outfile = 'C:\ Temp\test.xls"

dbms = excel replace;

sheet = 'Test';

run;

Some time back I have created this macro to address similar kind of need in our project . This macro takes below given parameters

1. Libname is source library

2. SAS_Data : Source SAS Table

3. Output_Name : Excelsheet Name

4. Sheet_Category : If you want to create sheets based on some criterian , use Classification variable as Sheet_Category

options mprint mlogic symbolgen;

%macro Send_to_Excel( libname =,

SAS_data=,

output_name = ,

Sheet_category =

);

proc sql noprint;

select type

into :cat_type

from DICTIONARY.COLUMNS

where upcase(name) = upcase("&Sheet_category.")

and upcase(libname) = upcase("&libname.")

and upcase(memname) = upcase("&SAS_data.")

;

quit;

proc sql noprint;

/* determine total no of sheets required to be created */

select strip(put(count(distinct(&Sheet_category)),best2.))

into :tot_cat_cnt

from &libname..&sas_data;

select distinct &Sheet_category

into :idcat1 - :idcat&tot_cat_cnt

from &libname..&sas_data;

%let catcnt = &sqlobs;

quit;

/* Create Excel file in DMM_TEMP Folder */

%do i = 1 %to &tot_cat_cnt;

proc export data=&libname..&sas_data (where=(&Sheet_category =

%if &cat_type = char %then

"&&idcat&i";

%else

&&idcat&i;

))

OUTFILE="&output_name..xls"

DBMS= xls

REPLACE;

sheet = "A_&&idcat&i";

RUN;

%end;

%mend Send_to_Excel;

%Send_to_Excel(libname = sashelp,

SAS_data=class,

output_name = Amol,

Sheet_category = sex

);

If you license the SAS product: SAS/ACCESS Interface for PC Files the you could also use the EXCEL Libname engine.

*default ver=97 which is limited to ~65k rows. Use 2002 instead to increase sheet limit to ~1million;

libname xcell excel '/nas/sasbox/users/mkastin/excel_workbook.xls' ver=2002;

*create two worksheets in above workbook by sex from sashelp.call;

data xcell.males xcell.females;

set sashelp.class;

select(sex);

when ('M') output xcell.males;

when ('F') output xcell.females;

end;

run;

Another thing you can do in excel itself to import large files is to use the follow macro (for excel)

Sub LargeFileImport()

Dim ResultStr As String

Dim FileName As String

Dim FileNum As Integer

Dim Counter As Double

FileName = InputBox("Please enter the Text File's name, e.g. test.txt")

If FileName = "" Then End

FileNum = FreeFile()

Open FileName For Input As #FileNum

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Workbooks.Add template:=xlWorksheet

Counter = 1

Do While Seek(FileNum) <= LOF(FileNum)

Application.StatusBar = "Importing Row " & _

Counter & " of text file " & FileName

Line Input #FileNum, ResultStr

If Left(ResultStr, 1) = "=" Then

ActiveCell.Value = "'" & ResultStr

Else

ActiveCell.Value = ResultStr

End If

If ActiveCell.Row = 65536 Then

ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Add

Else

ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select

End If

Counter = Counter + 1

Loop

Application.StatusBar = False

End Sub

This excel macro takes a text file (say a csv from SAS, for example) and reads it in chunks into multiple sheets of the compatible length for your version.

I am aware that you are more keen on something else, however, ODS tagsets.excelxp is very straighforward to use. I have had trouble using Proc export doing multi-sheets, also, DDE will ask more labor on coding. Here is the example of ODS, which you may be able to use it directly, change destination folder to match what you have on your computer:

/*Dummy table with 200K records*/

data h;

do i=1 to 200000;

output;

end;

run;

/*Determine how many sheets you will need, 65k records per sheet*/

data _null_;

call symput ('pages',ceil(nobs/65000));

if 0 then set h nobs=nobs;

run;

%macro mult_sht;;

ods listing close;

ods tagsets.excelxp

file="h:\want.xml" ;

%do i=1 %to &pages;

ods tagsets.excelxp

options ( sheet_name="output_page&i" );

proc print data=h (firstobs=%eval((&i.-1)*65000+1) obs=%eval(&i.*65000));

run;

%end;

ods tagsets.excelxp close;

%mend;

%mult_sht

A simple solution using EXPORT:

proc export data = dataset_name (obs = 64000)

outfile = 'C:\ Temp\test.xls"

dbms = excel replace;

sheet = 'Test';

run;

proc export data = dataset_name (firstobs = 64001)

outfile = 'C:\ Temp\test.xls"

dbms = excel replace;

sheet = 'Test2';

run;

Is there anyway that I can tweek it to export not by observation but by a column name in my dataset. The column name I am trying to export by is called "provname" and there are 74 different providernames I want to export every group of observations related to one provnam onto one spreasdheet.

Hi:

Try this simplified example with just BY AGE (using SASHELP.CLASS). It makes one separate worksheet for each value of the AGE variable, automatically. I limited it to only 3 values for AGE, since showing 3 sheets makes the point just as well as having 6 sheets.

cynthia

proc sort data=sashelp.class out=class;

by age;

where age in (12,13,14);

run;

ods listing close;

ods tagsets.excelxp file='c:\temp\class_by.xml' style=sasweb

options(sheet_interval='bygroup' doc='Help');

proc print data=class noobs;

by age;

var name sex age height weight;

run;

ods tagsets.excelxp close;

How can we do a similar thing inside SAS AddIn for excel ?

I need multiple sheets not necessarily using by groups.

Here is the code I was using .

The file = _webout doesnt seem to work.

I get an error message saying "....The SAS report results could not be processed.The 'CSV' satrt tag on line 24 doesnot match endtag of 'Data'. Line 25, position 3."

ods tagsets.Myexcelxp file = _webout style= ReportTemplate
