[SOLVED] Question Regarding EXCEL Report Generation- InfoAssist+
Hi All,

Your valuable time and suggestions are highly appreciated.

My Requirement
I have 3 Reports: Report1, Report2 & Report3.

I want to run these three reports and want 1 output with 3 worksheets containing Report(1) in worksheet 1, Report(2) in worksheet2 and Report(3) in worksheet3.

1 way of doing this is, via DOCUMENT where I can select the output format as xlsx and have separate pages for individual reports (report1, report2, report3).

But......

I am more interested in a more efficient way of achieving the same in any other way. I am trying to achieve this in InfoAssist+

Thank you in advance your inputs.

Here's an example I found in Focal Point. It seems to do what you want. The key syntax is OPEN and CLOSE after the ON TABLE HOLD.

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT *
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 1
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XLSX OPEN 
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, TITLETEXT='Report1', $
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT *
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 2
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XLSX OPEN 
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, TITLETEXT='Report2', $
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT *
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 3
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XLSX CLOSE
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, TITLETEXT='Report3', $
ENDSTYLE
END

From the BI Portal (server: port/ibi_apps/), click on the "more" icon.

Locate and click on the "Document" icon.

Add a report to the page shown - either new or existing. Once finished with that report, click on the drop down list on the right which shows "Page 1". This shows what pages you have in the current document and allows you to switch between them.

Click on "New Page" in the drop down menu and repeat the previous step as many times as you need.

On the bottom right, you will see 3 drop down menu buttons. Click on the middle one which should show "Active Report" and choose "MS Excel (XLSX)".

Run your report.
