Hi @Kottapally_Ramesh

This looks suspiciously like a school assignment so I'm going to point you to some sources where you can learn the techniques required

1. Writing to multiple sheets:  Check out the solution in this post   I used this example since it uses the Reporting tools that you'll need to include the hyperlinks.  You can extend the concept here to write to multiple workbooks from the same Render tool

2. Adding hyperlinks in the output excel file.  This post shows how to add a hyperlink in a sheet to another sheet in the same workbook.
