Problem Note 14994: SAS formats are not appropriately displayed when opening a table using the Add-in for Microsoft Office

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It
When you use the SAS Add-in for Microsoft Office to view SAS data in
Excel, some SAS formats are not displayed appropriately. For example,

 * The new IS8601* formats are not recognized as DATE or DATETIME
   formats.
 * DATE or DATETIME formats are displayed with 2 digit year values
 * Large non-integer and decimal values such as 12.2 appear in
   scientific notation (For example, 1.23E4).
