Yes. Look for any entry around Integration Technologies and VBA or C#. I personally would not use VBA (dead tech but still works). I automate using C# outside of Excel and use Excel as a datasource and then launch SAS code from there. I have loads of blog posts on the use. Feel free to search and look at my blog on these techniques:   http://savian.blogspot.com/   Essentially, you have this (in C#):           private Workspace CreateWorkspace()         {             Workspace sasWorkspace;             try             {                 var objFactory = new ObjectFactoryClass();                 var serverDef = new ServerDefClass();                 // ************************************************                 // Configure the SAS server information.                 // ************************************************                 serverDef.BridgeEncryptionAlgorithm = "SASProprietary";                 serverDef.BridgeEncryptionLevel = EncryptionLevels.EncryptUserAndPassword;                 serverDef.MachineDNSName = DnsName;                 serverDef.Port = Port;                 serverDef.Protocol = Protocols.ProtocolBridge;                 // ************************************************                 // Create the connection.                 // ************************************************                 sasWorkspace =                     (Workspace) objFactory.CreateObjectByServer("BridgeConnection", true, serverDef, UserId, Password);             }             catch (Exception ex)             {                 util.HandleError(MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name, ex);                 return null;             }             return sasWorkspace;         }         /// <summary>         ///     Submits SAS code using the IOM interface         /// </summary>         /// <param name="sasCode">The SAS statements to be submitted</param>         public SasRunObject SubmitSasCode(string sasCode)         {             try             {                 Workspace ws = CreateWorkspace();                 Common.StepError = false;                 Common.SasLanguageService.Reset();                 Common.SasLanguageService = ws.LanguageService;                 Common.SasLanguageService.Submit(sasCode);                 Common.SasLanguageService.StepError += SasLanguageService_StepError;                 Common.SasLanguageService.LineSeparator = "\r\n";                 var sro = new SasRunObject();                 sro.SasCode = sasCode;                 sro.SasLog = Common.SasLanguageService.FlushLog(Common.LogCharactersToReturn);                 sro.SasList = Common.SasLanguageService.FlushList(Common.ListCharactersToReturn).Replace("\f", "");                 return sro;             }             catch (Exception ex)             {                 util.HandleError(MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name, ex);                 return null;             }         }     Chris Hemendinger has a lot of useful information in his book on Amazon. Highly recommend buying it and using it.   Skip VBA: horrible technology. Loook at ESharper for Excel. Haven't used but was investigating tonight and will probably test. ... View more

I am going to respond w/o using python since I use C#. I absolutely believe in combining technologies. For example, how do you do a website using SAS? You don't. I can stand up a Web API system, use very powerful regex with C#, build UIs, consume web services, etc. All of those are challenges in the SAS world. Whether it is JSON, XML, SOAP, etc. I find C# easier and more powerful. I use SAS and C# almost daily. They each have their areas.   I encourage you to branch out and combine them. Look at saspy. ...
