SAS: PROC EXPORT adds a "_" in the Excel sheet name but the _ is not there in SAS? -
i have following sas code exports .xls-file. (nb: need old 1997-2003 format).
i specify sheet name be: 'pb organization'
but when file created sheet name 'pb_organization'
an "_" has been added. happening?
ps: file contains right columns , rows, sheet name wrong.
%let path_org = "\\folder\currentmonth - pb organization"; proc export data=pb_org2 outfile = &path_org dbms=xls replace; sheet = 'pb organization'; run;
from sas docs:
sheet=sheet-name
identifies particular spreadsheet in excel workbook. use sheet= option when want import entire spreadsheet. if export procedure sheet-name contains special characters (such space) sas converts underscore.
the space converted underscore. "employee information" becomes "employee_information"
