Boris,

A birdie offered a possible alternative solution that you really might
want to consider:

"you could suggest adding the 3 statements below prior to using the
tagset:

ods path work.tmplmst(update) sashelp.tmplmst(read);
filename tagset url 'http://support.sas.com/rnd/base/ods/odsmarkup/
excltags.tpl';
%include tagset;

This will install and use the latest publicly-available tagset (in
WORK), and not disrupt any other version already installed on their
system. Because the tagset is stored in WORK, this step only needs to
be done once per SAS session.

The complete code would look like this:

ods path work.tmplmst(update) sashelp.tmplmst(read);
filename tagset url 'http://support.sas.com/rnd/base/ods/odsmarkup/
excltags.tpl';
%include tagset;

ods listing close;
ods tagsets.ExcelXP file='Excelxp.xml';
proc reg data = final.regression_trades;
model result = return_cost holdtime_mins;
run; quit;
ods tagsets.ExcelXP close;
"

Although, I really liked the part of your post that stated that "Art's
version worked perfectly." Regardless, this particular birdie really
does know a lot more about this than I do.
