Answer 1

It depends on how your data looks like. Let's call your special value as value and let's assume that it is in character format. That special value is located in a variable column ,let's call it Var1. You put if statement as below,

data _null_;
set yourdata;
if Var1 = "value" then   /* if "Var1" is equal to "value" then */ 
call symput ('value1',Var1);  /* create a Macro variable with call symput*/ 
run;                         /* Now you can use this &value1 anywhere in your code  */

ods listing close;

  ods tagsets.excelxp file="&path\yourfile.xls" style=statistical
  options(sheet_name='&value1.*'); /* If you want to add a character into the sheet name, 
                                    then you can write &value.* as there is a dot between them */
  ;

  proc print data=yourdata; run;

  ods tagsets.excelxp close;

 ods listing;
