PROC Report - Retain Formatting of Report when using ODS output excel and rsubmit (SAS/Connect)

[Amitkmr1979]

I am using Windows Client and submitting my code to UNIX for processing. 

When I use windows client with my PROC report it retains all formats (font type/size/color etc) but when I create the excel output on UNIX the font type changes from Calibri to Courier. Also, what I had set as 0 on SAS for missing observations are replaced as 'period' on download. 

Please can anyone suggest a way to retain the exact format as of windows when using UNIX?

Please post the code you are using to create the excel-file.

One option we are exploring is to install font package on Linux RedHat 6.1

Sound like something to try. If this doesn't help contacting sas tech support is recommended.
