  • Reporting Services should be able to create reports from any OLEDB/ODBC source. If you can manually create the ODBC connection string, with the Excel driver,  Reporting Services should be able to access the Excel file as the data source.

    Not done it myself, I've only been reporting from SQL Server sources. But the option to select an ODBC data source implys that it could be possible.
