I am hitting a wall on getting output in Excel using SGPLOT with sas 9.4 . When I use msoffice2k_x tagsets with GBARLINE, I can save the excel file out and send to others without having html or png files present, and the graphs render. In the same output, SGPLOT needs the html and PNG files in the directory to render. Since I create them I get a hidden link, but the link breaks if I send only the Excel file. I do not relish the idea of having the xls file and 20 png and html files in a directory so the SGPLOT with my bar graphs will render. Again, gbarline does not need that dynamic link, it flattens the graph in excel permentently. Is there any way I can flatten the excel file to permently link the png images on the tabs so I can send the excel file without all the image files and html files in the directory or location?? I should be able to save a flat file in Excel with all the graphs from SGPLOT like I can do with GBARLINE graphs? I really want to get away from having a directory full of sgplotted graph images and html.
