I am trying to export dates from SAS that are in yymmddn8. format (e.g. 19821202) into excel. However, every time I export it to excel it becomes yymmdd8. format or 1982/12/02. Is there any way to keep keep the formats.
I do have a template (screen shot) that I do need to fill out. Is there a way to use libname or dde to fill out this excel file.
Thanks.

It depends on the template, did you mean to attach a screenshot?
How are you exporting your data?
Hi,
use TAGATTR option to define the format in excel.
ODS tagsets.ExcelXP FILE="Format.xls";
PROC PRINT DATA=class;
VAR name sex age;
VAR height weight / style={TAGATTR='format:0.00'};
RUN;
ODS tagsets.ExcelXP CLOSE;
