I lose the formatting of my two datasets when I email it as one Excel file.... How can I retain the formatting in the final product that gets emailed?  Any help in retaining the formatted fields is greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
Here is the code:

 

/*UPDATE FY AND QTR*/
%let QDate = 'FY23 QTR4'; 
/*UPDATE FY AND QTR*/
 
%let exptOutPath = %str(~/sasviyadata/LOCATION);
%let outfile=%str(Capital_Equipment_VA_Shared Obligations.xlsx);
libname xl xlsx "&exptOutPath/&outfile.";
 
proc sql ;
connect to saphana as pvcon (&PVCONSTR.);
create table wo_MODS as select * from connection to pvcon
 
(SELECT 
/* Case when substring(PO02._BIC_BCONTRACT,7,1) <> '-' then LEFT(PO02._BIC_BCONTRACT,6) || '-' || substring (PO02._BIC_BCONTRACT,7,2) || '-' || RIGHT(PO02._BIC_BCONTRACT,4) */
/* else PO02._BIC_BCONTRACT end as Contract /*this code adds dashes to contracts that don't have dashes*/

Please be more specific about what you are having an issue with.  What type of "formatting" do you mean? 

Do you want the Excel sheet to arrange the data on the page the same way that SAS would?

Do you want the Excel sheet to display numbers the same way as SAS displays numbers?

Are you talking about how Excel displays dates?

Something else?

 

Which variable(s) are not showing the way you want?

What do you get now in Excel?

What do you want Excel to do instead?

The Value field doesn’t retain the dollar format I have written.

You will probably want to make the XLSX file using ODS EXCEL so that you can use the TAGATTR style option to pass Excel formatting instructions.
