Export proc univariate output to multiple microsoft excel sheets

Okay, so I am trying to get the results of proc univariate to export to a microsoft excel sheet. I need multiple ones. Currently, my code is:

%macro test2;
       %do i = 1 %to 13;
           %let v = %scan(&varsX,&i.);
           ods html file="testfile.cls";
           proc univariate data=test;
               var &v;
           run;
           ods html close;
       %end;
   %mend test;
   %test2;

where my variables are defined in a list above. This prints out a bunch of sheets saved as ASCII files, but I want them all as excel sheets in the same workbook.

Not tested but some thing like this should get you started:

%macro test3;

      ods tagsets.excelxp file="testfile.xlm" options (sheet_interval='PROC');
       %do i = 1 %to 13;
           %let v = %scan(&varsX,&i.);

            proc univariate data=test;
               var &v;
           run;

        %end;

    ods tagsets.excelxp close;
   %mend test3;
   %test3;

The XML file generated can be opended in Excel.

Great, this puts them all in the same file with sheets which is awesome.

You have any idea how to keep a title in there because when I run this version of code it drops the titles.

Look at the header/footer, the title should be in there. You can embed the title/footer by looking at the ODS TAGSETS.EXCELXP option - specifically embedded_titles and embedded_footnotes.
