Report book extraction in excel workbook instead of separate excel files

When running a report book in cognos controller, it would be helpful to have the possibility to generate multiple excel reports in a single report book in 1 excel workbook instead of all single excel files.

    Another customer is asking for this functionality in Controller classic (they don't use Controller Web). The subsidiaries need to print the forms for auditors and the report book functionality is not helping them achieve this, one because it freezes the pc while the reports get printed (it opens and closes each report) and prints it to 40 different files, with a changed name as well.
