hi all

i use filezilla to put a excel onto the server

in my program i bring in the file as follows

x cp /users_ac/amardeep.singh/Daily_Results_Template.xlsx %sysfunc(pathname(work))/Daily_Results_Template.xlsx;

then import some data into that excel tab

is there a way to then convert that into a pdf or its not possible in sas eg

Not within EG, but with the X command enabled you can automate it using a VB script or VBA.

Excel can 'print' to a PDF directly and if you automate that step with a VB script or a macro embedded into the worksheet.

 

Or as mentioned, 

export your results directly to a PDF file.

thanks

do you have an example as to how to call a vb script using x command

so i create a excel file that has macro in it and within sas call that macro

if i can get an example or sample code as to how to call vbscript or macro

it would be really appreciated

With LibreOffice, one can do it from the commandline:

path_to_libreoffice/soffice --convert-to pdf [--outdir target_directory] File(s)

But that's software from people who have a clue.
