    Creating a "Mail Merge" Type of spreadsheet.

    Hello all --

    I may not need help with that actual formula per se, I just kind of need some guidance on how to approach this issue.

    What I have to work with is basically a spreadsheet with data (it contains Software Names) and for each software name there is a bunch of questions that needed to be answered. (each column has an answer)

    I have about 500 line items like this.

    I need to email each point of contact this bit part of the spreadsheet (Application name / questions / answers) --

    I would like to email each person their line item in the spreadsheet (as opposed to copying and pasting into the body of an email.

    Is there a faster way to do this than -- copying the line to a new workbook or worksheet - manually?

    Some sort of formula (like a mail merge type thing<<Software Name>> <<Answer 1>> etc...) to make this go alot faster?

    Thanks ahead of time.

    Thanks ahead of time

    Re: Creating a "Mail Merge" Type of spreadsheet.

    To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

    If needed supply a before and after sheet in the workbook so the person helping you can see what you are trying to achieve.

    Doing this will ensure you get the result you need!
    Hope that helps.

    Re: Creating a "Mail Merge" Type of spreadsheet.

    Thanks - Will do.

    Here is an example:

    Basically on the DATA Sheet I have all my data

    Software Name and the answers to three questions.

    On the "FINAL PRODUCT" sheet

    is the spreadsheet I want to send everyone. It has the Software name along with the questions themselves (these would remain static and never change) and then the answers as per the "DATA" Sheet.

    I need to email each point of contact the question and answer for their verification.

    I am trying to avoid cutting and pasting line by line.

    Is there an automatic way of doing this?
