Book description

Microsoft Excel remains the leading spreadsheet application on the market; nearly every SAS user will need to move their data and reports into Excel workbooks at some point during their career. Exchanging Data From SAS(R) to Excel: The ODS Excel Destination shows SAS users how to create Excel workbooks that are presentation ready, eliminating manual changes to the workbooks after creation.

This book also has numerous examples that include syntax and graphical output. With this book, you can learn how to: Create native Excel files Insert graphs and images into Excel files Place multiple tables on multiple tabs within the file Customize spreadsheets with workbook-level options, print features, column features, row features, and cell-level features Exchanging Data from SAS® to Excel: The ODS Excel Destination will make sending your output and graphics to Excel a breeze, enhancing any presentation!
