Hi
I need to export a dataset to create a new excel spreadsheet (not a csv and not DDE into an existing excel spreadsheet).
· When trying to do so I get the following error “ERROR: DBMS type EXCELCS not valid for export.” (DBMS = EXCELCS is for connecting remotely), so it looks like I don’t hold the correct SAS/access interfacing licence?
· Am I missing something here or is it just not possible to do with our current packages, which are
My code is:
proc export data = dat_expo
outfile="dat_out.xls"
dbms=EXCEL /* I've also tried EXCELCS */
replace;
run;
Thanks,
Jude
Run proc setinit; run; to see if you have the CONNECT and/or ACCESS to PC FILES Licenses.
Another option is to use ods tagsets.excelxp. No license needed.
ods tagsets.excelxp file="dat_out.xls";
proc print data=dat_expo;
run;
ods tagsets.excelxp close;
You can find references here:

Brief add to Reeza's solution, tagsets.excelxp actually creates XML and you may get a warning from Excel that the file isn't in the format expected given it's name. You may want to actually do a "Save As" from Excel to make an actual XLX or XLXS file.
Or Try another engine if your file is in English.
dbms=XLS
