I would like to have some of the fields in my excel output formatted as currency and I need them to be formatted w/ 4 digits after the decimal point.  How would I go about that?  I tried this...

var billamt/ style={tagattr='format:Currency'];

...but I don't know how to indicate I want 4 digits after the decimal point rather than just 2.

Thanks!

Hi:

  This is how I would do it. Excel shows me 4 decimal places for sales and 2 decimal places for returns.

cynthia

ods tagsets.excelxp file='c:\temp\currency.xml'

    style=sasweb;

  

  proc report data=sashelp.shoes nowd;

    column product sales returns;

    define product / group;

    define sales / style(column)={tagattr='$#,##0.0000'};

    define returns / style(column)={tagattr='$#,##0.00'};

  run;

  

ods _all_ close;
