/****I would like to have several tables on Sheet 1 and several more on Sheet 2***/
ods excel file="/usr/local/SAS/SASUsers/LabRet/UserDir/udclk79/ABC12.xlsx"
options(sheet_name="Sh1" sheet_interval="none");

proc print data=sashelp.class(obs=3) noobs;
run;

I tried none and after none or none and after porc but nothing provide desire results

[svh · Accepted solution]

LinusH's post had the answer--the second 'ODS excel options' statement needs sheet_interval set to "now". 

ods excel file="ABC12.xlsx"
options(sheet_name="Sh1" sheet_interval="none");
title 'Table1';
proc print data=sashelp.class(obs=3) noobs;
run;
title 'Table2';
proc print data=sashelp.shoes(obs=3) noobs;
run;

ods excel options(sheet_name="Sh2" sheet_interval="now"); /*This tells SAS to start a new sheet for next PROCs*/
proc print data=sashelp.cars(obs=5);
run;
title 'Table2';
proc print data=sashelp.shoes(obs=3) noobs;
run;
ods excel close;

One option no work! get error!

Any other solution to have 2 reports in Sheet1  and 2 reports in sheet2??

[Tom]

The value you pass with SHEET_NAME= is ignored when you tell ODS EXCEL not to make a new sheet by using SHEET_INTERVAL='NONE'.

Use SHEET_INTERVAL='NOW' instead.

ods excel options(sheet_name="Sh2" sheet_interval="now");

[Ronein]

using NOW options - I get an error

/*I want to export 2 table into sheet1 and 2 tables into sheet 2*/
/*I want to export 2 table into sheet1 and 2 tables into sheet 2*/
/*I want to export 2 table into sheet1 and 2 tables into sheet 2*/
ods excel file="/usr/local/SAS/SASUsers/LabRet/UserDir/udclk79/q6.xlsx"

What version of SAS are you using.  SAS will display it at the top of the SAS log, but since you appear to be using something like SAS/Studio or Enterprise Guide to submit you SAS code finding the actual top of the SAS  log might be difficult.   So you can look at the value of the automatic macro variable SYSVLONG.

It really looks like a bug in SAS since the error message you show is confused, listing NONE twice.

ERROR: Argument now for word option sheet_interval not recognized. Expecting one of these keywords output, table, page, bygroup,
bygroups, proc, none or none.

So what do you recommend me to do?
I am using enterprise guide 8.3

For ODS EXCEL it does not matter what user interface you are using to connect to SAS, but the version of SAS that you are currently using to run the code.  There is probably a button in EG you can click on that will show you information about the version of SAS you are currently using.  Otherwise add this line to your code:

%put &=sysvlong;

The example code works fine on SAS 9.4m7 release.

SYSVLONG=9.04.01M7P080520

You might try just re-typing the line.  Perhaps some strange hidden character got into your source code somehow.

Note that the error message I get when I purposely use a wrong value for SHEET_INTERVAL does include NOW as a valid option.
