Problem Note 34208: Reports exported from SAS® Web OLAP Viewer to Microsoft Excel are missing a namespace declaration
 |  |  |  |  |
When exporting an entire report from SAS Web OLAP Viewer or the Visual Data Explorer to Microsoft Excel, the exported HTML code is missing the following Microsoft Excel XML namespace declaration in the opening <HTML> tag:
xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"
|
This namespace declaration is needed in order to make Microsoft Excel honor the 'x' Excel directives in the HTML code. The 'x' directives are needed in order to prevent data integrity issues.
