Titles and footnotes included within an Excel worksheet might be displayed on only the first worksheet when using PROC PRINT along with the ExcelXP tagset to generate the output. This is most likely to occur when the ExcelXP tagset is used in conjunction with a BY statement and the SHEET_INTERVAL="bygroup" tagset option. Information for each BY group is displayed on a separate worksheet. However, the embedded titles and footnotes are displayed only on the first worksheet.

To have the titles and footnotes printed on all worksheets, include the PAGEBY statement in the PROC PRINT code, specifying the same variable that is included in the BY statement. For example:

proc sort data=sashelp.class out=test;
   by age;
run;

ods tagsets.excelxp file="c:\temp.xls"  options(embedded_titles="yes"
    embedded_footnotes="yes" sheet_interval="bygroup");

proc print data=test;
   title "this is a title";
   footnote "this is a footnote";
   by age;
   pageby age;
run;

ods tagsets.excelxp close;
