Use the "spreadsheet" format report to get the data, then generate your
reports in Excel or through some custom script.

The spreadsheet format report generates a textfile in the "CSV" (Comma-
Separated Values) format which all spreadsheets can import directly.
And it's line based, so you can easily filter it through grep or
some other tool to pick out just the host+service combinations you want.

There are just so many ways people want to do reports, so I decided
some time ago that I will not implement much reporting in Hobbit;
there's a way of getting the availabilty data, and then you can
transform those data into your favourite report format yourself.
