proc tabulate (to excel via ods) Fonts not applying corectly

[madhatter]

My Excel is set up with Times New Roman 12pt as the default font. When I run the following program,  the CLASS Variable values are displayed with the Arial 12 PT font when I open the output in excel.  Also, the Degree variable values are centered and not left adjusted. Any ideas on why the Arial font is being applied or why the Degree var values are being centered?  It does not take much to edit it, but it is annoying. 

Thanks in advance,

Charlie

Hi, it looks like some of your statements got truncated or chopped off on the left-hand side? Can you repost the code?

  Just as an aside, on my system the name of the font is NOT TIMES_NEW_ROMAN -- if you specify a font that is not found, then the default Microsoft font is used. On my system, the name of the font is "Times New Roman" -- mixed case, with spaces. Is the name of the font on your system actually TIMES_NEW_ROMAN???

Also, you seem to be missing a semi-colon after your first %LET statement.

You were also missing a CLASSLEV statement and a unit of measure after your CELLWIDTH (I don't think you mean 1.5 pixels). And, you needed a KEYWORD statement to apply style to the other values, like TOTAL, etc. Since you did not post your formats or any data, I ran this test with SASHELP.PRDSALE. This code worked for me. I used ODS MSOFFICE2K because Excel is notorious for NOT liking the type of style that is specified in "regular" ODS HTML (which creates HTML 4.0 tags), so I always use ODS MSOFFICE2K, which creates Microsoft "flavor" of HTML.
