Has anyone been able to store multiple table into a single excel file via the load script?

I want to be able to save multiple tables into a single excel document, but not through a macro just on the load script.  Each tab in the Excel would have the name of table's being used in that spread sheet.  I know you can store a single table into a csv and open in Excel.  Also you can load from Excel using specific named tabs that you can control in the load script editor.

Fish:

LOAD * INLINE

[

Fish, Count

Red, 1

Blue, 2

]

Birds:

LOAD * INLINE

[

Bird, Count

Tucan, 4

Parrot, 1

]

The Excel output would have a tab called Fish and a second tab called Birds.

STORE * FROM Fish INTO Pets.csv (txt):

STORE * FROM Birds INTO Pets.csv (txt):

Just replaces the csv each time with the new.  I want the process to be automated such that the output files are made after the refresh of the QVW.  Your response and time is much appreciated.

This isn't possible through normal load script.

You may be able to use a macro, but I'm not even sure about that...

Thanks Nicole I appreciate your time and response.  That's what I have been finding unfortunately as that it can't be done in a load script.  The fall back I am considering is the macro.  I would just need the macro to run after the refresh.  I've found a macro that starts when you click a button in the QVW, but trying to get to full automation where the excel file is just made on own.  Outside of Qlik I'm also thinking of having 2 excel files.  One to receive the csv outputs from loadscript with the second looking at those file/s to make calculations about the data and making pivot tables to get around load script limitation as well.

This thread looks to have some good information about executing macros in the load script:

I hope it helps!
