Recently, it has become clear that some members (especially newer members) have been confused by "mixed messages" coming from non-Moderators. They are unclear how to react to such requests. Accordingly, we are now asking all members NOT to attempt to moderate threads. From now on, that will be done by forum Moderators only.We continue to encourage the reporting of posts/threads where cross-posting has not been declared, where measures to bypass sheet security are requested, or where abusive language is being used. Generally speaking, it it NOT necessary to report poor titles, spam, lack of code tags, etc, as these are easily spotted by forum Moderators.From now on, those posts made by non-Mods that are attempting to carry out Moderation activities will be deleted.

Mail Merge Issue!

I'm trying to sort a mail-merge out importing figures from an xls to word but for some reason the figures are showing lots and lots of decimal points upon merging. Thus ruining the word doc.

The format in the xls is number and set to 2 decimal points. When you click on an individual cell, it shows numerous decimal points in the formula bar where I'm assuming is what the merge function is picking up.

I tried manually overtyping each cell to 2 decimal figures but still made them massively decimal-pointyised!

Is there any way I can 'convert' the data with lots of decimal points to 2 decimal points? This is most frustrating!

Thanks in anticipation :o)
