Hello experts,
I tried to run the following program to produce xml output with two tabs in the excel. But it didn't work when I included "where" statement,
ODS LISTING CLOSE;
ODS tagsets.excelxp FILE="c:\example.xls";
ods tagsets.excelxp options(sheet_name="cars");
Proc print data=sashelp.cars;
where origin="Europe";
Run;
ods tagsets.excelxp options(sheet_name="class");
Proc print data=sashelp.class;
where Sex="Male";
Run;
ods tagsets.excelxp close;
ods listing;
Thanks
Hi Kurt,
There is no error in the log.
The output file produced only contain 1 tab "Cars" whereas the other tab is missing.
There is a LOT more than just error message(s) to be found in the log. I guess you will find a
NOTE: No observations were selected from data set SASHELP.CLASS.
NOTE: There were 0 observations read from the data set SASHELP.CLASS.
WHERE 0 /* an obviously FALSE WHERE clause */ ;
message in the log, which will give you a clue that the where condition is the culprit and must be examined in depth.
It worked if you use as below
where Sex="M";
I think you are right...
Yes, good idea to have a look at the dataset. The string withing quotes needs to match exactly the string within the variable.
And be aware when inspecting your data that SAS may show you formatted values, while the where condition needs the raw, unformatted values to work.
I have double checked the dataset, the value "Male" is not in the dataset SAShelp.class. It uses "M".
