Conversion of output file

[HossainZ]

How can I convert output (.lst) file to xlsx format?

Thanks.

You can't directly. 

If you're on SAS 9.4 though you can use ODS EXCEL to create an Excel file. 

You add 

ods excel file='file path/name.xlsx;

your sas code;

ods excel close;

This will produce an excel file with your results. You can create PDF or RTF/Word files in a similar manner.

Thanks Reza.

When I run sas code only, it works fine. When I add your suggested lines at the beginning and end, I get error messages. Possibly I need to work on it a bit more.

Also have a look at ODS TAGSETS.EXCELXP. You get XML output that is properly read by Excel and can contain advanced formatting.

Whilst I totally agree with @Reeza and @Kurt_Bremser, create your output from SAS using the tools to create Excel files, you can import text (which is what a .lst file is) into Excel and process it if you really have to.  Open Excel, goto Data->From Text, select your file (as its not .txt you will need to select All Files *.* in the filetypes box).  You will then see the Text Import Wizard, where you can set various options, delimiters, widths etc.  

Do note, that .lst files are just raw text, so there would be no formatting, and strcuturally it isn't the best to deal with.  Better to generate a proper report from SAS.
