ODS excel

Posted 05-09-2025 07:53 AM (2590 views)

Hello

Here are 2 example of export sas reports in Excel using ODS excel.

Example1:

This example working 100% and results are as I wish.

I want to export-2 reports into Sheet1, 1 Report into Sheet2, 1 Report into Sheet 3

ods excel file="/usr/local/SAS/SASUsers/LabRet/UserDir/udclk79/q13.xlsx"
    options(sheet_name="Sheet1" sheet_interval="none"   embedded_titles='yes');
	/*Sheet1*/
	Title 'Table1-In Sheet1';
	proc print data=sashelp.class(obs=3) noobs;
	run;
	Title 'Table2-In Sheet1';
	proc print data=sashelp.shoes(obs=3) noobs;
	run;
ods excel options(sheet_name="Sheet2" sheet_interval="table"   embedded_titles='yes');
	/*Sheet2*/
	Title 'Tables3--In Sheet2';
  proc report data=sashelp.prdsale;
    column country region actual predict;
	define country / group;
	define region / group;
	break after country / summarize;
  run;
ods excel options(sheet_name="Sheet3" sheet_interval="table"   embedded_titles='yes');
	/*Sheet3*/
  Title 'Table4-In Sheet3';
  proc print data=sashelp.heart(obs=10) noobs;
  run;
ods excel close;

Example2: 

This example is not working well and I dont get results as I wish.

I want to export- 1 report into sheet1, 2 reports into sheet 2, 1 report into sheet3.

The problem is that I want 2 reports in sheet 2 but i get one report in sheet2a and one in sheet 2b.

Please note that NOW option is not in my sas version so i cannot use it

ods excel file="/usr/local/SAS/SASUsers/LabRet/UserDir/udclk79/q14.xlsx"
    options(sheet_name="Sheet1" sheet_interval="none"   embedded_titles='yes');
	/*Sheet1*/
	Title 'Table1-In Sheet1';
	proc print data=sashelp.class(obs=3) noobs;
	run;


	ods excel options(sheet_name="Sheet2" sheet_interval="table"   embedded_titles='yes');
	/*Sheet2*/
	Title 'Table2-In Sheet2';
	proc print data=sashelp.shoes(obs=3) noobs;
	run;
	Title 'Tables3--In Sheet2';
  proc report data=sashelp.prdsale;
    column country region actual predict;
	define country / group;
	define region / group;
	break after country / summarize;
  run;


ods excel options(sheet_name="Sheet3" sheet_interval="none"   embedded_titles='yes');
	/*Sheet3*/
  Title 'Table4-In Sheet3';
  proc print data=sashelp.heart(obs=10) noobs;
  run;
ods excel close;

Great great!!

Now I understand the trick of  ods none and as i understand need to apply it only in case of -

multiple reports in sheet_K  and also multiple reports in sheet_K+1
