In reply to Christian H..

Chris, if you have the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office, then you could drive the SAS content into Excel from within Excel. Absent that, you could export the content you need from SAS (into a text file, for example) and then use PowerShell or VB Script to automate Excel and add it into your Excel sheet. There are many more options, but these are just a couple of ideas. Again: DDE still works as long as SAS and Excel are co-located, but when that situation changes, you'll have to get creative with a new approach.
