Description

We would like to see a way to generate one excel file that contains the data from all tabs/layouts generated in a report. 

Use Case and Business Need

For instance, we have a report that contains three layouts. Each layout contains data generated from the same data model. It is displaying the same information differently. We would like to export all three of these layouts at one time. Right now we have to export each tab to .xlsx then copy the data into one excel file. This is confusing to our users and an inefficient use of  their time. 

More details

We have tried using the "Send" and "Schedule" options and sending the output to an email address. This is not helpful because it still generates three separate files.

    Hi Cody,

    Are you creating those layouts as BI Publisher RTF templates? If the ultimate output is Excel, you'd be better off building this with a single true Excel layout template. Those support producing multi-tab Excel files, plus better Excel field formatting overall than RTF templates. So one BIP template leads to one output file, one tab per layout.

    Hope that helps,

    Glen
