Hi,
I am trying to export to and excel file to update a report daily. It keeps changing my format from a percentage to a decimal, how can I fix this:
proc export
data = LookToBook_MTD_90_180
outfile = "\\acc.local\fileservices\private\riskanalysis\shared\sales\Look to book by Territory\Key"
dbms = "XLSX" replace;
sheet = "Key";
run;
See this link for the default conversions that SAS performs based on the SAS format applied to the column - this is what you are experiencing:
You might want export it from SAS formatted as a plain numeric then change it in Excel yourself, or if you want SAS to do it try Reeza's suggestions.
