What type of Excel file are you using? I'm assuming that you are using tab or comma delimited files. These text or CSV files do not support multiple sheets, and in fact do not support cell formatting or any of a number of excel functions. Only native Excel files (*.xls) support mutliple sheets. Unfortunately these files are binary and are not easily created. As a result it may be impossible to accomplish what you ask.
