Experts:
I use SQL Reporting Services for my Enterprise Reporting, which is VISUAL STUDIO. I have a report that I export into EXCEL. When I export the report it assigns a separate tab for EACH of my Agents. The tabs are named the Excel Standard of Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3, etc... I have approximately 90 TABS in the finished export.
I have a piece of cod that I manually ADD to the VB code of the EXPORTED Excel File and it changes each tab to the AGENT NAME that is found in each worksheet's Cell A6.
Ok, now my question.... is there some type of code that I can build INTO my Reporting Services Report, that will automatically tell EXCEL to take the contents of each Worksheet's Cell A6 and use it as the TAB NAME...so that I won't have to manually go in and add the code AFTER the data has been exported into Excel?
I'm hoping that this TAB NAMING can happen at the same time as the actual EXPORT.
Thank you for your assisstance.

I have a way or CODE to rename all tabs to their text name that is found in cell A6...this works fine.
But I currently have to manually open VB and enter a small piece of code...then save it.
I was hoping that somehow...RS could be "coded" to name the tabs. Actually I know that is can do it...I just don't know how...
Thanks
This is in reference to the above solution:
You can work around to rename the tab names.
1. You can schedule the report to export into share drive
2. Create SSIS script task to open, read and rename the tabs into the names you wanted to and schedule your SSIS package.
How do I create an SSIS script task? What is the code I need to have to read and rename the tabs into the names I want? Can you give me the exact details of how it is done? Thanks.

I had the same problem a while ago and couldn't find a way to get Reporting Services (SQL 2005) to assign custom names to the different tabs. The best solution that I could find was to use the first sheet as an index containing descriptive names that serve as a hyperlink to the relevant sheet.
I'll look for the description of how to do that and post it here - might work for you too.
