Which ODS EXCEL statement correctly creates an Excel using the ANALYSIS style?

AOds excel=' c : \report. xlsx' style=analysis;

BOds excel workbook=' report. xles' analysis;

COds excel=' c : \report. xlsx' / analysis;

DOds excel file ='c \report.xlsx' styleanalysis;

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

The correct answer is A: Ods excel='c:report.xlsx' style=analysis;. This syntax is correct for the ODS EXCEL statement in SAS, where you specify the path and filename, followed by the 'style' option to apply a specific style template to the output Excel file. The 'style=analysis' is used to set the output appearance according to the 'ANALYSIS' style template provided by SAS. Option B is syntactically incorrect and does not use the 'style' option correctly. Option C incorrectly places a slash which is not syntactically valid in this context, and Option D misses the equals sign and quotes which are necessary for correct syntax in SAS. Reference:

B) has a typo, it should be 'xlsx' not 'xles'.

I feel like C could be right since it uses a single quote, but I’m not confident about the use of the slash before "analysis."

I’m confused about the difference between "style" and "workbook" in these options. I think I need to double-check my notes.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this one. I'll make my best guess, but I might need to come back to it if I have time at the end.

This seems straightforward enough. I'm pretty confident that option C is the right answer, but I'll quickly skim the other choices just to be sure.

I'm a little confused by the different ways the ANALYSIS style can be specified. I'll need to double-check the documentation to make sure I understand the correct format.
