PROC Star

You can PROC EXPORT to CSV (DBMS = CSV) if you don't have SAS/ACCESS to PC Files licensed, then open the file in Excel and do a File Save As to save in Excel format.

I think this is a duplicate of this thread: https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/Problem-with-PROC-EXPORT/td-p/88349 and since I am new to this forum, I don't know how to link my answer directly. So I'll just copy and paste my answer into here.

 

I know this is an old thread, but I just encountered this problem myself, and solved the following way. Actually two ways.

 

1) Forget about Excel, just export into CSV. (This is what I always did with Python, always easier.)

 

PROC EXPORT DATA=last

OUTFILE='/home/data.csv'

DBMS=CSV REPLACE;

PUTNAMES = YES;

RUN;

 

2) If you insist on Excel, here you go:

 

PROC EXPORT DATA=last

OUTFILE='/home/data.xls'

DBMS=EXCEL5 REPLACE;

RUN;

 

Long story short, EXCEL5 is the key. Hope this helps.
