Hi,   I would like to export a file via ODS EXCEL and then reimport the new generated Excel file via PROC IMPORT. My problem is that ODS EXCEL wraps lines in the table cells if there is not enough space.This would be no problem but unfortunately the blanks get lost between the last word in the first line and the first word in the second line. So the values of the variables are not the same after PROC IMPORT. At the position of the blank now is a line feed (0A'x) So I could replace this line feed with blank again after reimport. The problem is that line feeds will also be included if the wrapping is in the mid of a word because of lacking cell space. Afterwards I don't know, if there was a blank at the position of the line feed before or not. Here is a test program:   filename mdata "c:\test.xlsx"; ods excel file=mdata; ods excel options (sheet_label="TEST" sheet_name="TEST"); data test; test1='ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWX; test2='ABCD EFGH IJKL MNOP QRST UVW XYZ'; test3='ABCD EFGH IJKL MNOP QRST UVW XYZ'; test4='ABCD EFGH IJKL MNOP QRST UVW XYZ'; test5='ABCD EFGH IJKL MNOP QRST UVW XYZ'; run; proc report data=test nowindows; column test1 test2 test3 test4 test5; define test1 / display ; define test2 / display ; define test3 / display ; define test4 / display ; define test5 / display ; run; ods excel close;   proc import datafile="c:\test.xlsx" out=test dbms=xlsx replace; sheet="TEST"; run;   Has anyone a solution for this or a workaround   Thanks   Gerd   ...
