Create Exel file from dataset

[Liej]

I was wondering if it's possible to create an excelfile with this on top in the sheet

&&B&i._Naam 2013-03.xls

Ontheffing Roerende Voorheffing - &&B&i._Naam

Datum Beslissing : 22/03/2013

followed with a dataset or if there is no data in the dataset  "nihil".

V1	V2	V3	V4	V5	V6	V7	V8	V9
dataset or nihil

Hope someone can help me.

Hi. You can try with ods.tagset excel to have a customized excel

I'm trying the ods.tagset but I can't find a way to create such an excel.

Anyone who can help me?

Thanks for the help.

This is my code and it works fine.

ODS Listing close;

ODS html3 body='/sas/prd/data/2013/Excel/CIT.xls' style=statdoc;     /*(1)*/

ODS noresults;

title c=brown bold "titel 1";

title2 "titel2";

title3 "title3";

data _null_;

set RVOut.CIT;

file print ODS=(Var=(a b c d e f));

put a b c d e f;

run;

ODS html3 close;

ODS listing;

ODS results;

BUT

(1)  ODS html3 body='&Excel' style=statdoc;    doesn't work

anyone who can help me to add the  '-sign before and after the &Excel variable?

If you want a macro variable to resolve you need to use double quotes instead of single quotes.

I used this to add the '-signs

%let Excel= %str(%'&path/Excel/&&E&i._Excel%');

but then I get this error when using it in

ODS listing close;

ODS html3 body=&Excel;

ERROR 22-322: Syntax error, expecting one of the following: a name, a suoted string

Thanks Patrick.

%let Excel=&path/Excel/&&E&i._Excel;

ods html3 body="&Excel";

These two little changes made it work.

Thanks a lot.
