Creating reports from data in InfoPath forms stored on SharePoint

I have created some InfoPath forms to be used in monitoring progress against various business plan actions.  I would like to create an automated management report which pulls data from multiple forms, which are stored in a SharePoint Form Library. 

What's the best way to do this?  I've tried extracting form data into Excel but I have repeating tables in the form which makes for a clumsy spreadsheet. 

Would Microsoft Reporting Services present a possible solution here?

Look forward to hearing people's thoughts?

    You can also set the promoted property to "merge", but I don't know whether that will be of any help to your situation.

    With the repeating tables, property promotion will only promote one instance of each field per table.  So, I could only have the first or last entry, which doesn't quite work.

    Are you able to use InfoPath-SharePoint Property Promotion for this? You will find Property Promotion in the InfoPath Form Options.
