Cannot WrapText and AUTOFIT_HEIGHT in excel

[SanjayM]

Hello,

This post is the same example as the previous posts but facing a different issue with not being able to wrap text in excel output.

ODS LISTING CLOSE;
ODS TAGSETS.EXCELXP FILE="&rep_filename."
STYLE=styles.printer
OPTIONS(EMBEDDED_TITLES='yes'
SHEET_INTERVAL = 'none'
WIDTH_FUDGE ='0.75'
SHEET_NAME = "&customer_number"
DEFAULT_COLUMN_WIDTH="10,0,8,8,8,8,8,8,8"
FITTOPAGE = 'yes'
PAGES_FITWIDTH = '1'
Pages_FitHeight = '100'
FROZEN_HEADERS = 'yes'
FROZEN_ROWHEADERS = 'yes'
GRIDLINES = 'no'
AUTOFIT_HEIGHT = 'yes'
PRINT_FOOTER = 'Page: &P of &N'
WRAPTEXT = 'yes'
)
;
ODS TAGSETS.EXCELXP
OPTIONS(EMBEDDED_TITLES='yes'
SHEET_INTERVAL='none'
SHEET_NAME="&customer_number"
ROW_REPEAT = '1 - 4'
FROZEN_HEADERS = '1 - 4'
);

Hi:
When I run a version of your code, I get the following message in the log:
[pre]
Unrecognized option: WRAPTEXT
[/pre]

and when I use the doc='Help' suboption, I do not see WRAPTEXT as a valid suboption. So, I'm not sure what to suggest there.

However, when I run a version of your program (limited to 2 regions with long values that should wrap), I DO see wrapping and the height of the cell does autofit and expand.

My recommendation would be that you open a track with Tech Support on this issue.

I ran the code below in SAS 9.2 with TAGSETS.EXCELXP version: v1.94, 09/09/12

where region in ('Western Europe', 'Central America/Caribbean');

region = 'An Extra Row';
product= 'To Repeat';

proc sort data=shoes;

Hi,

Yesterday i was wondering too what was exactly the problem
as there is no guaranty of functionning in every cases

About wraptext it is by defaut 'yes' in version 1.116
with those remarks about both

WrapText: Default Value 'yes'
Values: yes, no, on, off.
This value turns wraptext on and off for all style definitions.
This option should be used carefully. Wraptext is an attribute which is part of the style
definition, specifically, the alignment part. Turning this off will cause all style
definitions that are generated afterward, to leave out the wraptext setting. Turning it on
and off can work provided you understand that only styles generated from an over ride will
be affected by later changes to the setting.

This option also interacts with the tagattr wrap setting. If wrap is the opposite of the
setting given by this option then it is treated as a style over ride, and a new style is
generated with a new alignment tag, which also contain a redefinition of the vertical and
horizontal justifications. This interaction means that if you use these options together,
it is best to set WrapText at the very beginning and leave it alone. Otherwise the
interaction of the options and the styles already created could get complicated.



Autofit_height: Default Value 'no'
Values: yes, no, on, off.
If yes no row heights will be specified. This allows the auto fit height
of Excel to do it's job, sometimes not so well.
