Google Sheets Export Fix: Keeping the First Column Blank in SAS

First column blank Google Sheets Export

SAS relies on Google's API to append data to the first available empty row. This process is governed by the content in the sheet's first column.

  • Requirement: To function correctly, Column A of your Google Sheet must be completely blank. The presence of any content in Column A determines where the append operation begins.

  • Configuration: You must also ensure the first field defined in your SAS export list is empty.

  • Resolution for Missing Data: If exported data is not visible at the expected location, please scroll down. Previous actions might have created blank rows or columns, and the new data will have been appended sequentially following the last non-empty (or previously blank) row.

Idea
If your goal is to have the first column appear blank after the export (so you can use it later), set the first column in your SAS export configuration to use a simple formula that inserts a placeholder, like a dash (-). This prevents the column from being truly "empty" to Google, allowing subsequent exports to append correctly. You can then easily overwrite these dashes in your Google Sheet after the export is complete.
