templates in SSRS 2008

Question

Is there any way I can create a report template in SQL server reporting services 2008 which will create some standard format for the report. I am looking for MS excel template kind of functionality from the report template.

In SSRS 2008, there is no way to create MS excel template kind functionality, but this is on our wish list and will be available in the next release.
