Problem Note 49229: Hidden SAS® content in PivotTables does not refresh in the SAS® Add-In 5.1 for Microsoft Office
 |  |  |  |  |
In Microsoft Excel, the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office does not refresh SAS content in PivotTables that are on hidden worksheets. The following error occurs:
"SAS-server-name:SAS-Library-Name.SAS-Data-Set-Name" encountered errors while opening the results. We can postpone processing the results by placing them in the Status window. Select method of Range class failed
As a workaround, you can use the following code in the Microsoft Visual Basic Editor in order to unhide, refresh, and then hide the worksheets.
'Unhides all sheets in the workbook
Sub SheetsUnhide()
Dim sheet As Worksheet
For Each sheet In Worksheets
sheet.Visible = True
Next
End Sub
'Refreshes all SAS Content
Sub RefreshContents()
Dim sas As SASExcelAddIn
Set sas = Application.COMAddIns.Item("SAS.ExcelAddIn").Object
sas.Refresh ThisWorkbook
End Sub
'Pause 5 seconds for Refresh - change time interval as necessary
Sub Wait()
Application.Wait Time + TimeSerial(0, 0, 5)
End Sub
'Hides an individual sheet named below
Sub SheetsHide()
Dim sheet As Worksheet
For Each sheet In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If sheet.Name = "Specific-Sheet-Name-Here" Then sheet.Visible = False
Next sheet
End Sub
