OK, I've been playing around with trying to output a report to Excel using ODS Tagsets. I found this Tagset on the SAS Support site:-
which didn't work right off, I had to change references to "colwidth" (but not "$colwidth") to "width", and it's producing Excel output quite nicely. I've added in a style sheet to set up colours and stuff, and used options to set up various items (column width is a little problematic, I think the amendment I made wasn't correct, though it did at least allow me to run the template).
All good so far. The only problem I'm still having is setting up the wrapping on the cells.
Anyone got any ideas?
Here's the style template:-
And here's the test code I'm using to view the results:-
The ODS PATH statement is so that SAS writes the templates to my work library rather than my user library, it means that changes made aren't persistent betwen sessions, which means I don't have to worry about screwing up my user settings.
If anyone has played with this stuff and worked it out, or has time to play with it and get some results, please let me know.
If not, at lteast it's a jumping point for you guys to have some fun with ODS.
