Gunnar: here's more details. Each factory (> 100) needs a separate spreadsheet with just their data on it. Each spreadsheet will have the requisite titles at the top and column headers. But the data will be split into multiple break headers, followed by the data, followed by break footer totals.
Yes I can create a permanent temp table to hold the raw data, and I could connect to that table from Excel (although I assume I would have to connect to it 100 different times) and bring the data into a spreadsheet. But how do I get the breakheaders to print on a separate line, and how do I get the break footers? I can't have the operator break those out because that's more work than she has to do now with the .csv file approach.
