I know that I can output reports to separate Excel tabs using a Report Book, but that's not a good solution when data dynamically determines how many tabs your report should output.  For example, I have an invoice report that outputs in the following group hierarchy.

[1] Invoice Summary (new tab)
[1 to Many] Facility/Department
    Summary (new tab)
    Detail (new tab)

Ideally, there would be a report property to export Excel in a mode similar to the Web output, where only explicit page breaks result in new tabs.  I cannot believe that isn't a more common request.  My clients constantly want summary data paired with detail data.  If they said data is in the same Excel tab, converting the detail data to a table, de-merges and re-sizes all the columns, which is a difficult to use, ugly mess.

Hello Wyatt,

Currently, the Report Book is the only option to create multiple worksheets in Excel. You can vote for the described feature in our Ideas & Feedback portal.
