Hi,
I have a dataset with 160 patients, Now I want to export into Excel and use the following code; I can see that the sheet was created,
BUT
when i try to open up the Excel sheet it says" File cannot be acessed, file may be corrupted or located on a server that is not responding or read only!!!!
Could you help me resolve tghis issue???
43 proc export data=procedures_descrip2
344 outfile="C:\Data\Projects\Colect-20121011001(2)\sample_out.xls"
345 dbms=excel replace;
346 sheet=colect;
347 run;
NOTE: "COLECT" range/sheet was successfully created.

I am not sure if I understand your question. Here is my bold guess of your question:" Can excelxp.tagset can also be used in something other than Procs? Such as Data step?". If that was the question, then the answer is 'Yes':
ods listing close;
ods Tagsets.ExcelXP file='h:\temp\test.xml';
title 'Listing of Class data';
data _null_;
set sashelp.class;
file print ods;
put _ods_;
run;
ods Tagsets.ExcelXP close;
ods listing;

Hi,
I got it.
Now there is another issue. The formats are not being applied after the dataset is converted to EXCEl. How can I get the formats applied??
Thnx
You can't if you use proc export. Try ODS excelxp tagset instead.

Hi,
Could you tell me how to use it if I want to convert this followibg dataset to Excel file???
procedures_descrip2
IS THIS THE RIGHT WAY TO USE IT???
ods tagsets.excelxp file='C:\temp\sample_out.xls';
proc print data=procedures_descrip2;
run;
ods tagsets.excelxp close;
Yes, that is about right. I would replace .xls with .xml, so when you double-click opening it, there wouldn't be any pop-up warning, as your xls is not genuine xls. And when you really want xls, you can 'save as'.
There are many SGF papers online, google it: filetype:pdf ods excelxp tagset
Any one of them will get you jump-started.

Karun,
I think that the note may reflect a 32-bit/64-bit collision. If so, some possible work arounds are listed at:
http://support.sas.com/kb/40/383.html
Specifically, they suggest using:
proc export data=test outfile="c:\public\myfiles.xls" dbms=xls replace;
sheet="mysheet";
newfile=yes;
version=2003;
run;
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I got the answer using ods tagsets...
I have a question though?
Does ODS tagsets work only with the Proc steps??IBelow I used the final dataset in the proc print with ods tagsets..CAN I USE IT WITH THE PROC STEP WHICH CREATES THE FINAL DATASET...(procedures_descrip2)
Secondly,what does this Note mean:
371 ods tagsets.excelxp file="C:\Data\Projects\Collect-20121011001(2)\collect.xls";
NOTE: Writing TAGSETS.EXCELXP Body file: C:\Data\Projects\Collect-20121011001(2)\collect.xls
NOTE: This is the Excel XP tagset (Compatible with SAS 9.1.3 and above, v1.94, 09/09/12). Add
options(doc='help') to the ods statement for more information.
372 proc print data=procedures_descrip2;
373 run;
NOTE: There were 52829 observations read from the data set WORK.PROCEDURES_DESCRIP2.
NOTE: PROCEDURE PRINT used (Total process time):
