Agenda

1. Combine multiple HTML files (SAS 8)

2. Use Tagsets.ExcelXP (SAS 9)

3. Combine multiple files created using Tagsets.MSOffice2K (SAS 9)


1. Combine multiple HTML files

Pros• Works with SAS 8 & SAS 9

• Simple ODS HTML

Cons• Multiple files

• XML frameset code

• Formatting quirks

Report


Reducing the number of physical files

1. Open the XLS file in Excel

2. Select File > Save As…

3. Change Save as type from “Web Page” to “Microsoft Excel Workbook”

4. Change the File name field (optional)

5. Click Save

At this point, you have multiple physical files (one XLS file, one XML file, and and HTML file for each worksheet), you can turn these into a single XLS file:

3. Use Tagsets.MSOffice2K (SAS 9)



Pros• Simpler SAS code

• Puts each SAS table on a different worksheet

• Smarter formating

• Options to control some formatting

• Extensible

Cons• Larger file

• Only available in SAS 9

• Experimental designation (but very robust!)


ods tagsets.excelxp file='sas9.report.xls' style=sasweb;

title Sales by region;proc tabulate data=sashelp.shoes;

class region;var sales;table region, sales='Sales'

*format=dollar20.0*sum='';run;

title Sales by year;proc tabulate data=sashelp.retail;

class year;var sales;table year='', sales='Sales (in M$)' *


title Sales detail;proc print data=sashelp.shoes noobs;run;

ods tagsets.excelxp close;Report


Tagsets.ExcelXP extras

ods tagsets.excelxp options(doc=‘help’);

orientation=‘landscape;

embedded_titles=‘yes’;

frozen_headers=‘yes’;

frozen_rowheaders=‘yes’;

autofilter=‘all’|’3-5’;

Similar to first technique

Pros• Formatting optimized for MS Office applications

• Supports SAS/GRAPH

Cons• Multiple files

• XML frameset code

• Only available in SAS 9


ods tagsets.MSOffice2K file='sas9.by_region.htm' style=banker;

title Sales by region;

options device=activex;proc gchart data=sashelp.shoes;

vbar3d region / sumvar=sales;run;quit;

*ods tagsets.MSOffice2K file='sas9.by_year.htm' style=banker;

title Sales by year;proc tabulate data=sashelp.retail;

class year;var sales;table year='', sales='Sales (in M$)' *


ods tagsets.MSOffice2K file='sas9.details.htm' style=banker;

title Sales detail;proc print data=sashelp.shoes noobs;run;

ods tagsets.MSOffice2K close;Report
