Problem Note 58526: The ddmmyy10. format writes different values to different sheets when you are using the XLSX driver to export to EXCEL
 |  |  |  |  |
Date values formatted with the ddmmyy10. format might look different when you export data to Excel workbooks using the XLSX driver. Here are some examples:
ods listing close;
proc sort data=sashelp.prdsale out=prdsale;
by Country;
run;
data mydata;
x = "01JAN2015"d;
format x ddmmyy10.;
run;
/*---1st sheet OK, 2nd sheet wrong format---*/
proc export
data=mydata
dbms=xlsx
outfile="C:\sastest\datumtest.xlsx";
sheet="test1";
run;
proc export
data=mydata
dbms=xlsx
outfile="C:\sastest\datumtest.xlsx";
sheet="test2";
run;
The value shown in the test1 sheet is 1/1/2015, and in the test2 sheet it is 1-Jan-15.
