Create a folder and within create an empty powerpoint with n sheets that will includes 'things''

[melhaf]

Hi, 

Maybe the topic wasen't the best, but here is a better explination of what I want to create 🙂 

I want to create a folder and within this folder, create an empty powerpoint with n sheets that will includes 'things', where 'things' is the the code I write (ex. histogram, tabulates, and even text (i.e strings?)

So I think I will demonstrate how I started, 🙂 

1) Create the folder:

%let year = 2023;  
options dlcreatedir;
libname out "PATH\&year";

This works fine

2) Then in this '2023'-folder, I would like to SAS to create a powerpooint.file automaticlly not by going in to this '2023'-folder and right click and do this by hand. Maybe I think I would do something like this: 

/* this creates the empty PowerPoint file, but it dosen't save it in the '2023-folder */ 

ods _all_ close;
options date nonumber;

3) Here is just some random data I picked up so I can try it.... and maybe it could help you guys also 🙂

proc sort data=sashelp.prdsale out=prdsale;
   by Country;
run;

4) And this would be the creating the excel file? But once again, it not

• automaticlly doing this
• and I don't know what to do with my 

libname out

some thing like this????

OUT.ods powerpoint file='PATH\test.pptx';

title 'Actual Product Sales';
title2 '(millions of dollars)';

And it dosen't work.

Q2: After this works, how do I interpret n sheets with example one with just text (description what this powerpoint is above for example) and one other sheets with tabulate/histograms WITH also explinations with text?

.. and it all will save this automaticlly in the '2023'-folder.

Sorry if my english is not good, it's not my 1st langauge.

Best regards,

M

Use ODS POWERPOINT.

title1 'PowerPoint Using Template Layout Twocontent with ODSLIST/GMAP';
footnote "The ODS Output Destination for PowerPoint";

ods powerpoint file="PATH/&year\Layout2List.pptx" layout=twocontent
    nogtitle nogfootnote;
proc odslist;
  item 'Pre-defined template';
  item 'Side-by-side output';
  item;
     p 'Use:';
     list / style=[bullet=check];
      item 'Tables';
      item 'Graphs';
      item 'Lists';
      item 'Text';
     end;
run;

goptions hsize=4.5in vsize=4.5in;
proc gmap map=maps.us data=maps.us all;
  id state;
  choro statecode/statistic=frequency discrete nolegend;
run;  
quit;

ods powerpoint;
