Excel 2007 may be the problem. I am using Excel(r) 2003 and Excel(r) tagset version 1.116. I do not know what, if anything SAS will do with the Excel(r) tagsets for Excel(r) 2007. I think that there are other SAS-L threads dealing with problems that people are having with SAS and Excel(r) 2007.

It doesn't seem to be working for me (btw, I'm using Excel 2007). Using

this code, I'm still getting the negative numbers show up as text:

ods tagsets.excelxp file="/sas/DataStore/shared/secure/test.xls"

style=statistical

;

proc report data = SASUSER.example;

columns Claim_Class_Id Claim_Membs_Age Claim_Adjustment_Flag

ClaimLine_Allow_Amt;

define Claim_Class_Id / group style(column)={tagattr='format:text'};

define Claim_Membs_Age / group;

define Claim_Adjustment_Flag / group;

define ClaimLine_Allow_Amt / analysis sum

style(column)={tagattr='format:$#,##0.00' just=R};

run;

ods tagsets.excelxp close;
