Hi all,


I have processed a lot of data in SAS and I need to put out a lot of XLS files for our colleagues who analyze the results. There are about 100 XLS files, each with 30 sheets ... Smiley Mad

 

In each XLS, there are about 5 different sheet types (each sheet type fed by a different SQL) and each XLS contains all sheet types (queries ran for different currencies).

 

I am using SAS 9.4.

 

Do you have any good sugestions how to do the XLS writing? Should I use proc export or some other way might be better?

 

Thanks a lot!

You're probably going to need a macro but I'd also look into ODS Excel. 

 

There are many examples on here.

My favorite is Libname statement:


libname x xlsx 'c:\temp\want1.xlsx';
proc copy in=work out=x;
 select a1-a10;
run;

I'm somewhat curious about what type of analysis is performed in Excel that can't be done in SAS.

 

Or possibly you're exporting raw data instead of organized summaries?
