I am using following export procedure to export data to .xlsm extention file.  It does the export but creates new sheet instead of replacing the old one.  It creates sheet called output1.  Can anybody help me with this?

 

Below is the code:


proc export
data=extract
outfile="C:\temp\testXYZ.xlsm"
dbms=excel2000 replace ;
sheet='output';
run;

Replace sheet 'class' in a macro enabled (xlsm) workbook

I could not do this with R, so I swithched to Python.

Have you tried it with the

newfile=yes;

statement?

 

It also might work if you change the dbms to XLSX. However, in that case, I don't think it supports the newfile=yes statement, but might do what you want.
