As far I know, creating multiple sheets Excel file with render tool is big challenge.

I was literally going to post a similar question as I want to output to different files based on contents of a column which are not readable when it goes into a table tool...and I have many more tables so the below is not viable for me

 

To fix your immediate problem, you could filter to your three tabs that are needed, so you create three separate tables, then add a formula tool to give each table a name pass, fail and average respectively, then unionthem, and then on the render tool you output based on groups.  Sample workflow attached...

 

I am only just getting used to the reporting functionality and the sheet names do not reflect the names you want...i am sure some of the seasoned pros will be able to give us a better insight...

If you are not requesting the Section Name as sheet name, we can get inspiration from @messi007 .
