Hi - I wrote following code to export results in excel, but I also want to retrieve query name along with the result. The code is as follows:

proc export data = SASUSER.Check

outfile = "C:\Documents\test\Alerts.xls"

dbms = excel replace;

sheet = "Check";

run;

The above code generates the excel file and replace it every time when I run the code and it works fine but for reference I need to add query name. Please help

thanks

The query name is

SASUSER.Check

Then you could use a macro variable to name the sheet like that:

%let query_name=sasuser.check;

proc export data = &query_name

outfile = "C:\Documents\test\Alerts.xls"

dbms = excel replace;

sheet = "&query_name";

run;

or

%let libraryname=sasuser;

%let query_name=check;

proc export data = &libraryname..&query_name

outfile = "C:\Documents\test\Alerts.xls"

dbms = excel replace;

sheet = "&query_name";

run;

The above code is running perfectly now I have summarized all the queries in one excel sheet using the following code:

PROC SORT DATA=SASUSER.QUERY_FOR_APPEND_TABLE_0000;

BY DESCENDING 'Alert Count'n;

RUN;
