Not sure how Excel could read a file with dashed lines; if you
don't want the lines, just -sort- on the variable before using
-outsheet-. If you do want the lines, I think you'll have to
use the -file- command.

-list- has a nifty option, -sepby()-, that allows me to list data separated with lines between a variable, in this case a date:

From reading the help files, I don't see that there is a way to do this using outsheet or outfile. Is it possible to output such a table to a file that can be read by Microsoft Excel or Word?






Best wishes,
