Using ods tagsets.excelxp cut values to a certain number of digits. Did someone know why ?
Regards
Like in this example
data have;
input a b;
cards;
2.123456789 3.123456789
;run;
ods tagsets.excelxp file= "&folder\have.xls" options(sheet_name= "have") style= SasDocPrinter ;
proc print data=have noobs label;
run;
ods tagsets.excelxp close;
:
First of all, don't lie with filenames. You are creating Excel-compatible XML, so the file should have an extension of .xml.
And keep in mind that ODS is for printed, user-readable, reporting-style output; therefore it respects the formats of variables.
Assign a proper format:
data have;
input a b;
format a b best32.;
cards;
2.123456789 3.123456789
;
run;
and you will see that all decimals end up in Excel.
If using SAS 9.4 or later, use ODS EXCEL in place of ODS tagsets.EXCELXP -- this will create a native XLSX file for you. You'll still need to apply the number format as @Kurt_Bremser suggests.
