You can use a format, but I don't understand your requirement for suppression. Can you show an example?

Something like:

ods tagsets.excelxp file="s:\temp\rob\temp.xml";
data a;
  name="abc"; output;
  name="def"; output;
run;
proc report data=a nowd;
  columns name;
  define name / " ";
run;
ods tagsets.excelxp close;

You can also use the NOHEADER option in PROC REPORT to do the same thing.
