Case-1:- You can use the same excel file and create different reports, might be "forecly the connection is closed errors".
Case-2:- To avoid the above one, please try to create a dataset with out any visual and use the same one from Desktop and create different reports.
Case-3:- You can use Dataflow, connect it to Desktop and create a different reports.

Case-1:- You can use the same excel file and create different reports, might be "forecly the connection is closed errors".// Anyway to fix this ? As we have complex reports used excel files.
Case-2:- To avoid the above one, please try to create a dataset with out any visual and use the same one from Desktop and create different reports. // Can we use process for multi excel sourced reports or only works for one excel ?
Case-3:- You can use Dataflow, connect it to Desktop and create a different report // Are there any steps to follow this.
