I used ods tagsets.excelxp to export the cross table of proc freq, but found all cells of the cross table were empty. Anyone once met the same thing?

SAS version? Tagset version? Any errors or warnings? What results do you get when you do not override with ODS destination - does a FREQ report get generated to SAS list? This information would be most helpful - also post your SAS code as well for feedback.

A problem using FREQ crosstabs with the ExcelXP tagset in 9.2 has been reported to Technical Support and verified by R&D. We're working on a solution.

Has a solution been found for this?

Hi;
You could run a TABULATE step instead of FREQ. It won't give you quite the same look (no stacking), but you can get the same numbers.

This problem is addressed in the latest version of the tagset v1.110.
The tagset has been submitted to our web administrator and should be available within a week.

Thanks for the replies.

We can now keep moving forward with our transition to SAS 9.2.

I had decided not to mention the PROC TABULATE option to my user as a solution. I wasn't up for the negative comments on a working program in the older version and now having to move to a new PROC.

I completely understand! The tagset solution would be the better way to go.

When and where can we expect V1.110 to appear?
