Hi Chris

Any idea when performance for ODS Excel will improve? I just ran some tests and to dump a table with 5000 observations and 40 columns it takes about 70 seconds on my machine. That's a LONG time for a mere 5k observations.

Are you familiar with what may be slowing it down? I was wondering if there are any tips or tricks you could think of that may speed it up? I was considering simplifying the style it uses by creating an almost empty .css file and trying to use that... Also considering removing all SAS formats from the dataset to see if that may make a difference...

If I can't find a way to speed this up I'm afraid it's back to csv output for me which would be a shame as I love the features the ODS excel destination offers.

Thanks
