You need to figure out the exact format that will work for you but the idea is as follows:

 

proc export ....  outfile = " path to file _ %sysfunc(today(), yymmdd8.)_%sysfunc(time(), time8.).xlsx"

The follow helps for testing your formats. I would highly recommend a YYMMDD format for the date then it will at least sort correctly by default which it won't otherwise. 

%let date = %sysfunc(today(), yymmdd8.);
%let now = %sysfunc(time(), time8.);

%put &date _ &now;
