ODS EXCEL PROC REPORT - Spanning Header Border

[HanaR]

Hello All,

I am Hana.

I am running SAS 9.4 M2 on Linux Server.

Currently, having trouble with spanning header.

I included my code and outputs- What I have and What I want.

If you could help with this problem, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Hana

I am having difficulty understanding what the desired change is. Do you want to change the row height for row 4?

[HanaR]

Hello,

What I want to get is to have "THICK LEFT Border" for "spanning header11", "spanning header12, "spanning header21", "spanning header22".

When I ran the code on Windows, I can see it, but somehow it is not working on Linux environment.

I attached the excel file.

Thanks.

Hana

I would suggest providing an actual unit in any width setting, or anything related to size actually. Some ranges of values depending on ODS destination/operating system / viewer seem to get treated as narrow/ medium / wide and small differences may not be visible.

You can use fractional measurements such as 1.5mm or 0.1in.

Pixels however are not a good unit as they depend on the display device and are not consistent.

Hello,

Thanks for suggestions.

Even specifying measurement, "inch", still doesn't display thicker border for those spanning header.

Thanks again.

Sincerely,

Hana

Hi:

  I could not zoom on your picture to see the 2 screen shots larger. This is what I get in SAS 9.4 M5 when I run your code (slightly modified):

Here's the code I ran. I did not see the need for your macro, since I am running on Windows:

   
  ods listing close;
  
  ods escapechar='^';
  
  options leftmargin=0.35in
          rightmargin=0.35in
          topmargin=0.75in

          papersize=letter
          ;
  
  ods excel file = "c:\temp\style_excel.xlsx"
            options (embedded_titles='yes'

Hello,

I didn't have any problem to get the results when I ran this code on windows, SAS9.4M5.

The problem is that the code ran on SAS 9.4 M2 on Linux Server.

Thanks.

Hana

Hello All,

I got an answer from SAS tech Support; it is related to SAS version.

This issue wouldn't appear sas 9.4 m3 and higher version.

Many thanks to all who responded to this issue.

Sincerely,

Hana
