ERROR: The EXCEL engine cannot be found

[jslong99]

Hi

My company have just upgraded to SAS9 and I have read about exporting data to excel using the LIBNAME statement.

When I try to run the line:

libname myxls "C:\demoA1.xls";

I get the:

ERROR: The EXCEL engine cannot be found

Is there something I need to set up before I can use this statement?

Thanks in advance

Jamie

Insert excel into your libname.

libname myxls excel "C:\demoA1.xls";
