Anyone know why and how to fix when I'm exporting from SAS a large file into a .csv (or .txt) and try to pivot it in Excel it loses the ability to Sum up the data. It is still numeric data.

Sample :

2002.04,,SINGLE,,Province1

Thanks

If I understand you correctly, this is what I have done.

data test;
input val stat $ add $;
datalines;
2002.04 SINGLE Province1
1852.04 MARRIED Province2
;
RUN;

PROC EXPORT DATA = test
OUTFILE= "C:\Documents and Settings\TEST.XLS"
            DBMS=EXCEL REPLACE;
     SHEET="Sheet1";
RUN;

Then opened the excel to creat a pivot table.

Sum of val
stataddTotal
MARRIEDProvince1852.04
SINGLEProvince2002.04
Grand Total3854.08

which is working fine

Yes, with 1 million records.. when I export into .csv.. then pivot works but not the SUM.  In my sample I left a ' ' where the actual number eg 345345 would be and another ' ' where 245345 would be, but in my case I have alot of spaces.. Which I think are the culprit.

What is the size of your SAS data?

So far I know if the data is larger than 2Gb then you won't be able to export it to EXCEL or Access. No matter howmany records are there.

It's about 63 MB's (in .csv or .txt format) and about 1 million records

I can't find it in the Microsoft documentation but, with 64 bit versions, I think that has increased to around
