Hi,
The following code works properly with the excel engine but not with the xlsx engine.
Two data steps are necessary with the xlsx engine.
Is it a bug or an intentional feature (if so what would be the reason)?
%*let xxengine=xlsx;
%let xxengine=excel;
libname demo &xxengine. "&xxtest./reporting/test.xlsx";
data demo.Male
demo.Female;
set sashelp.class;
if sex='M' then output demo.Male;
else if sex='F' then output demo.Female;
run;
libname demo clear;
The error seems to indicate that it's intended at the moment.
