Hi,

It is imperative for the report we are creating to use multiple worksheets in one excel file. We managed to create it using exl2k but were planning to use exl07. The info I have found about this issue is that exl07 does not support some of the features available in exl2k ( here ) but in the online doc I see some differences ( here ). Is there any real news about the features available for exl07 since the forum discussion I have mencioned?

Here is an example of exl2k:

TABLE FILE GGSALES
SUM UNITS/D12C DOLLARS/D12CM
BY CATEGORY
BY PRODUCT
WHERE REGION EQ 'Midwest'
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K OPEN
ON TABLE SET BYDISPLAY ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, FONT=ARIAL,SIZE=9,$
TYPE=HEADING, SIZE=12,$
TYPE=TITLE, BACKCOLOR=GREY,COLOR=WHITE, $
ENDSTYLE
END

TABLE FILE GGSALES
SUM UNITS/D12C DOLLARS/D12CM
BY CATEGORY
BY PRODUCT
WHERE REGION EQ 'Northeast'
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K CLOSE
ON TABLE SET BYDISPLAY ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, FONT=ARIAL,SIZE=9,$
TYPE=HEADING, SIZE=12,$
TYPE=TITLE, BACKCOLOR=GREY,COLOR=WHITE, $
ENDSTYLE
END

I managed to build a compound report with several sheets like this, which is one of the features the 2011's post said wasn't available:

TABLE FILE GGSALES
SUM UNITS/D12C DOLLARS/D12CM
BY REGION
BY CATEGORY
BY PRODUCT
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL07
ON TABLE SET COMPOUND BYTOC
ON TABLE SET BYDISPLAY ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, FONT=ARIAL,SIZE=9,$
TYPE=HEADING, SIZE=12,$
TYPE=TITLE, BACKCOLOR=GREY,COLOR=WHITE, $
ENDSTYLE
END

But I can't use this approach because each worksheet must be created from different slightly different requests.

All help is appreciated, Thanks
