Proc Tabulate ODS excel sheet_interval='none' not working

[jhealthpolicy]

Hi,

I am trying to use ods excel with the sheet_interval='none' option to get all of my output to come out on one tab but it does not work.  It continues to output all page variables as separate tabs. My quick fix for this would be to change the output to ods html printed to a .xls file, but all of the documentation i've read says this should work with ods excel.  Any ideas?

My code:

ods excel file = 'D:\Projects\Tabulate 7-6-2021.xlsx' OPTIONS(sheet_interval='​NONE');
proc tabulate missing data = Extended_data;
class cy exclusion exclude_reason Group1 Group2;
var paid_amount detail_count ;
table all Group1*Group2, all exclusion*exclude_reason, cy*(n*f=comma12.0 detail_count*f=comma12.2 paid_amount*f=comma12.2 ) /nocellmerge;
run;
ods excel close;

What version of SAS are you using?
9.4M6?

Some of the older versions 9.4M3- are buggy as ODS Excel wasn't fully implemented yet.

SAS 9.4 TS Level 1M7

I also have another system that is running SAS 9.4 TS Level 1M3 -- it does not work on that either.

When I copy and paste your code to run I get this error:
WARNING: Argument ​none for word option sheet_interval not recognized. Expecting one of these keywords output, table, page,
bygroup, bygroups, proc, none, now or none.

However if I type in the word NONE or none manually it's fine. Did you copy and paste that code from somewhere? Are you working on a browser that has a different character set or language enabled?

I read in your NONE value as a hex code and it is messed up somehow. Not sure what's going on there but I think just retyping the code should solve your issues.

Oh man, I feel like a fool.  I did copy it from somewhere on the web and forgot that it copies the markup with it.  I retyped it and that fixed it -- thank you very much!!
