I see there is already one closed ticket regarding this, however the suggestions in that ticket will not work for me.
It is currently possible to put multiple tables on the one page usign shortcodes - with careful column numbering (and making sure the columns have the same type of source data) we can apply filtering to multiple tables.
Currently my clients must download multiple .DOCX files and combine them into a report. Not ideal.
What would be good is if in the Word or Excel document we could use the format of:
${wdDataTableName.ColumnName.all}
That way we could have:
Document Title:
Table1: This is Table 1
-------------------------------
Data Table 1
-------------------------------
Table2: This is Table 2
-------------------------------
Data Table 2
-------------------------------
Table3: This is Table 3
-------------------------------
Data Table 3
-------------------------------
Table4: This is Table 4
-------------------------------
Data Table 4
-------------------------------

I am sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately something like this is not possible with the plugin's built-in features.
If you can create a custom script where all the reports' download buttons will be triggered at once, and zipped into one file, then it could be possible. However, this is a custom solution, and unfortunately it is not included in the provided support for the plugin.
At the moment, one report can only be linked to one table.
