Hi All:

I know this must have been answered somewhere, but I can't find it ...

I would like to write a formula to Excel rather than a value.  I know I can write like:  '=ROUND(+RC[-1],2)'  but I would like to just write a simple ' =B1/B4'  into the sheet.  When I try this, Excel wraps a bunch of quotes around the value and it becomes garbage. 

Thanks in advance.

If you are using the excelxp tagset according to this note you may have to state it in relative terms: http://support.sas.com/rnd/base/ods/odsmarkup/excelxp_demo.html

Thus, if it is going in column 5, you may have to state it like your round formua: =RC[-4]/RC[-1]
