[Support #WGL-271476]: Creating a Bundle in IDV for Exporting Multiple Variables

> Dears,

Dear Fernando,

I found your application of the IDV quite intriguing, especially how it 
complements my aim to enhance data preprocessing for various applications like 
machine learning.

While we're in the midst of developing several functions, they're not ready for 
public use just yet. I can make them available to you asap. I'd greatly 
appreciate your feedback to fine-tune the function interface.

Regarding GFS data, could you please clarify how multiple variables are 
outputted to the Excel file? What's the structure of the Excel file, and what 
functions are necessary for each variable?

Looking forward to your insights.

Best regards,
Yuan
