Page number getting counted on hiding

I have 2 tables in my design. One for Excel output and the other table for rest of the output formats.

Using hide visibility option, I was able to hide the content but however the processing happens and the page numbers getting counted for both outputs.

I know dropping table will avoid processing and can be achieved by overridding before factory method but let me know how to verify if the request is for excel
Table_1 = reportContext.getReportRunnable().designHandle.getDesignHandle().findElement("Table1");
Table_2 = reportContext.getReportRunnable().designHandle.getDesignHandle().findElement("Table2");

if (Condition true){
Table_2.drop();
}
else if (Condition false) {
Table_1.drop();
}

My Question is how condition can be applied to determine it is excel request or other format request.

Attaching sample design for your analysis.

Please suggest if you kow any other options as well.

Thanks and Regards,
Muthul.

The check for this is: if (reportContext.getOutputFormat() == "xls")
