Hi,
I have an excel table which I need to mail merge into a word doc. The table
is of employee name, their exam type and their grade. The table looks
similar to the one below:
Name Exam 1 Type Grade (Exam 1 Type)
Holmer Simpson Exam 1 Pass
Holmer Simpson Exam 2 Distinction
Holmer Simpson Exam 3 Pass
Lisa Simpson Exam 3 Pass
Bart Simpson Exam 1 Distinction
Bart Simpson Exam 4 Fail
Marge Simpson Exam 1 Pass
Marge Simpson Exam 5 Pass
When I mail merge, I get Holmer's [mail merge] 'letter' three times, once
for each exam (this is the problem as I only require one letter but with all
3 exams listed).
I've thought about combining each employee onto one row, where each column
heading would be different so I could merge them in that way. The only
problem is that I have over 2000 employees some of which have upto 10 exam
records. Copying and pasting all these records onto one row per employee
will take me forever and I might mess up the odd one or two if interupted.
Is there a better way of achieving this desired result perhaps?
Thanks in advance,
AW
