Excel output to multiple tabs (with a BY column?)

I need to create a report with Excel output, but I want to spread it across multiple tabs/sheets within a single Excel file. But what makes this a little different than the other solutions I've seen is that each tab will not be built from a separate TABLE FILE request. I'd like each tab to be populated by one of the "BY" columns.

Here's an example:
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM RETAIL_COST
	DEALER_COST
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
ACROSS BODYTYPE
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
END


What I would like to do is make the Country appear on individual tabs. In my particular example, "Country" will also be part of the where clause and is multi-select -- so depending on how the user runs the report, they may get all countries, one country, or any number in between.

Anyone have a method to do this?
Thanks!

I knew as soon as I posted this that I would find it!

Table of contents is the answer!
