MULTIPLE WORKSHEETS PER EXCEL WORKBOOK USING XSLT

Question

Hi everybody,
My query is on how multiple worksheets per excel file can be created using xslt programming.
From my report program i call the xslt transformation passing an internal table. Based on the changes in the values of a particular field in the table, multiple worksheets are to be created in a single excel file.
A snippet of the code ive generated is displayed below .But i get the error saying its unable to open the file. I need to know where exactly to place the <for-each select> and <worksheet> statements in order to successfully implement the solution. Would greatly appreciate any help offerred in this direction. Thanks
<xsl:template match="/">
<workbook>
<ExcelWorkbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel">
      </ExcelWorkbook>
        <xsl:apply-templates />
</Workbook>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="asx:values">
<xsl:for-each select="ROWS/ZWORKSHEET">
<Worksheet ss:Name="FIRSTCOL">
  <Table ss:ExpandedColumnCount="10" x:FullColumns="1"
   x:FullRows="1" ss:DefaultColumnWidth="66" ss:DefaultRowHeight="14.25">
    <Row xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"
         xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
         xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"
         xmlns:ss="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"
         xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">
      <Cell ss:StyleID="s23"><Data ss:Type="String">SAP Material Number</Data></Cell>
      <Cell ss:StyleID="s23"><Data ss:Type="String">CLP</Data></Cell>
    </Row>
  </Table>
  </Worksheet>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>

If the Sales Org values are static, you shold be able to create a variant.  Don't know off what the variable name is off the top of my head, but there should be a variable delivered as part of business content that obtains the current month - look at the 0CALMONTH variables. (May be something like 0CMONTH ?)If you don't see it, maybe that variable activated yet.
Does just one person run this workbook or are many people?
If you schedule the query with reporting agent, you should be able to warmup (load the results)to the OLAP cache so when the user runs the querys later, they'll run very quickly, retrieving the data from the OLAP cache.  BEx Broadcaster is a good option too if the criteria for the queries are all known upfront.

Fogo to ask - are you using hierarchies in the query?  They can have a lot of perfromance impacts on the front end interms of rendering them in Excel.  There are some Front End patches that speed this up quite a bit.
