I need to work on report using excel but my rows always limits to  1048576  when i use below code to export

 

proc export
data = Final_Rollup
outfile = 'C:\Users\msbla\report.xlsb'
dbms = excel replace;
run;

Use the proper dbms= value:

proc export
  data = Final_Rollup
  outfile = 'C:\Users\msbla\report.csv'
  dbms = csv
  replace
;
run;

A csv file is only limited by available disk storage. Note that you can't import it into Excel, but who uses Excel for data containing a million rows anyway?

As Kurt suggested, use CSV for this.

From Microsoft:

Excel 2007 and above supports 2^20 rows, i.e. 1048576 rows. They are just numbered from 1 to 1048576.
