Export with Error Excel file

[hhchenfx]

Hi,

I have big trouble exporting my small file to Excel.

PROC EXPORT 
data=T1
outfile="&export_folder.\T1.xls"
DBMS=xls
replace;
run;

That code creates a excel file but when I click it, the following notice show up:

"We found a problem with some content in "T1". Do you want us to try to recover as much as we can? If you trust the source of this workbook click Yes".

Sometime, it allow me to open in the "protected mode" where basically I can only see but cant change, edit the file.

PROC EXPORT 
data=T1
outfile="&export_folder.\T1.xlsx"
DBMS=xlsx
replace;
run;

ERROR: XLSX is not yet supported by proc export.

PROC EXPORT 
data=T1
outfile="&export_folder.\T1.xlsx"
DBMS=EXCELCS
replace;
run;

ERROR: Failed to connect to the Server: .

When I export using CSV and DBMS=CSV, it works.

Below is my SAS info.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Thanks a lot.

The first error indicates that you may have data content issues. It that case we can't help much without data. You might try exporting to CSV and open the result with Excel or other spreadsheep program to see if that behaves the same. If you get data issues you can then open in Wordpad or similr text editor to look for anything strange.

The other errors may be related to the bitness of SAS (64) and the version of Office products installed (if they are 32 bit).

Connection to server problems you'll need to describe more of your install such as are you use EG Studio or DM and the server and its OS.
