Problem Note 20322: Canceling open or modify into Microsoft Excel can lose the connection between the worksheet and the server
 |  |  |  |  |
If you attempt to modify an existing data source open in your Microsoft Excel spreadsheet using the SAS® Add-In for Microsoft Office and cancel the modify while it is attempting to retrieve the modified data, it will return an empty worksheet when you cancel. This is expected. However, Microsoft Excel also loses the association to the original table in the spreadsheet, which is not the intended behavior.
Currently, there is no circumvention for this except to reopen the original table.
