Hi:

  A pivot table is an Excel data structure. Do you want to embed an Excel pivot table in Outlook mail or do you just want a SAS report or a table that you can email to someone. Your desired output looks like a report that could easily be produced with either PROC REPORT or PROC TABULATE. But the SAS Report will not be an Excel pivot table. There is an ODS destination that will make a pivot table, but it does so by putting JavaScript into an HTML file. And, some mail programs do not allow script elements in the mail for security reasons. Although SAS mail capability would allow you to mail an attachment as part of a mail.

  Otherwise, to embed a Microsoft data structure in a Microsoft mail product would seem to call for Microsoft technology.

Hi:

  Since many mail systems do not allow HTML mail these days, I generally use the method shown in this paper:http://support.sas.com/resources/papers/proceedings11/300-2011.pdf starting on page 7. I send my ODS files as attachments. That always works very reliably for me. That way I don't have to worry about whether the mail system allows HTML or RTF or PDF format mail or not. If you continue to have issues, you might want to open a track with Tech Support, there are many settings that can only be done at start up that have to be turned on before mail from SAS will work and depending on your OS and your mail client, you may not have the right things set for sending mail no matter which method you use.
