Use Mail Merge From Table To Generate Data In Line Graph?
Jun 25, 2009
I want to generate a letter to parents that shares reading fluency data from an excel spreadsheet into a table and a chart. I got the info to post into cells in the table through mail merge. (sample below) Now I want to make a matching line chart to visually show the student's growth over time. I want the data on the chart to change according to the data I put in the cells in the table through mail merge. Is this possible?The data in the cell that says "Cory" and the "88, 100, 112" are placed in this table through mail merge. I want to now be able to take just Cory's information and display it as a line graph. If I highlight those cells and choose "insert a table" it doesn't work.

column A = Date : 01/02, 07/02, 14/02, 21/02, 28/02 (x-axis : shows when the table is updated)
column B = project: x, x, x, x, ,x (name of the project and trend line)
column C = Delivery Date : 01/05/2009, 08/05/2009, 20/05/2009, 30/05/2009, 28/02/2009 (plotted on the graph)
column D = Status : Green, Amber, Red, Green, Blue (status of the project. the points should be the same colour as is described in the table)
column E = Comments: original, delay, supply, out of money, on track, delivered-wow! (these comments will pop up if the user holds the cursor over a point)
NB Y-axis scale : 01/01/2009 to 31/12/2009 with increments of 14 days. this will be the same scale used for all projects.
Date Project Delivery Date Status Comments
01/02 x 01/05/2009 Green original date
07/02 x 08/05/2009 Amber delay supply
14/02 x 20/05/2009 Red out of money
21/02 x 30/05/2009 Green on track
28/02 x 28/02/2009 Blue delivered-wow
So id like the macro to draw the line for project x based on the 'delivery date'. The points should be coloured according to the 'status' column and when you hover the mouse over the point the data lable will show up taking info from the 'comments' column.
Would it be possible to create a macro that will be able to generate this graph automatically. I have a few projects id like to do the same thing for.

With the attached spreadsheet i cannot workout how with the line graph not to continue the line if there is nothing in row 10 of the table.
for eaxmple if there is no value in cell M10, i would like the actual addtion line to stop at the last value on the graph that was in L10.

after spending hours searching the forum, I begin to seriously doubt my ability to even formulate a suitable search question. My problem SHOULD be a known one, but I am unable to find any clues. Here we go:
I have made a pretty stright-forward forecasting model. It is used to calculate economics of a coal fuelled power plant (even though that shouldn't matter). The outcome is, among other things, a single number for Profit / MWh in Euros. There are several input data, such as fuel price, price for CO2 emission rights, operational expenditure, capex, etc.
My idea, then, is to lock all in-data parameters except ONE, then let this variable vary incrementally and then produce a new small table with a) the variable data (example: price for CO2 rights ranging from 10 to 50 Euro in 2 euro steps), and b) the resulting net profit in each case. Ideally, I wish to be able to chose which indata to lock and which to vary, i.e. solution need to have certain flexibility.
NB: The calculations are not that simple, i.e. I cannot use a simple formula - I need to use the exising output cell(s) to feed data.
How do I do this?
The outcome should be basically two rows with a suitable number of columns (or the other way around, two columns in X number of rows). The table will then be used to produce illustrative graphs.
I guess I could hard code a table by simply enter data, but heck, that's not the way to use Excel!

I am trying (and failing) to set up a mail merge with a Word document. I would like for the doc to take information entered in specific columns and display it in the right field. I've set up the field and the excel doc and went through the mail merge wizard's steps for setting it up but it doesn't seem to be doing what I want.I am attaching the doc and spreadsheet below.

If I have a simple spreadsheet with Name, Class, and date in Columns A, B, and C. Labeled as NAME , CLASS, and DATE acccordingly is there a way to merge that data onto a certificate in powerpoint so the result is a slide of each student?
I can do this in word easily and perhaps the easy answer is to just convert the certficate slide to word and go from there?

I have a database that uses a few basic macros that I would like to use as part of a mail merge ---> Form Letter. Word does not seem to support the use though of xlsm files as a data source though.
Full disclosure - I am using a mail merge form letter to automate the creating of a report that has a LOT of place holders. I 100% realize that there are ways to do this within Excel that would be much cleaner and much easier, but truthfully, I DO NOT have the skills to write the code for it. (The macro I am using was wrote by a wonderful member of these forums. (Snakehips))
Do I have any work arounds to the xlsm / mail merge debacle? Is there a method that I could do that doesn't require years of VBA experience?

I want to use a line graph to display an amount over time - that's the easy part. On the other hand, I would like to have to group the lines based on a value.
A short example:
Imagine you own 3 different stores and you're selling oranges. So your table looks like this:
http://img179.imageshack.us/my.php?image=orangeshm4.jpg
Now I'd like to have one graph (3 different graphs won't work as the rows increase -I need to select the whole column as data source):
Date on the x axis,
Oranges sold on the y axis,
and one line per store (e.g. a green one for store A, a red one for B and a blue one of C, doesn't matter).

I have a line graph that contains information for the following products,
Boats , Cars & Bikes.
The chart works well but i would like to show the numbered scale of each product & i can't work out if this is possible in excel.
Currently i can only get two data showing for the axis.
I would like to show all three & just use a color to indicate which data corresponds to which product.
In my attached example: I have data for both Cars (blue) & Bikes (green) but i would like to also show data for the graph scaling for Boats (pink).

I am reporting on the amount of certificates issued over a period of time. Basically the government stopped released data on the amount of one type of certificate being issued during this period and started releasing data on another type. I am having trouble displaying this other data which starts around half way into the time period. So all the data starts in June 2010... but this other data starts in June 2012.

I am trying to create a line graph that will incorporate multiple columns of data in one series of data. The reason I do not place all of the data in one column is because it could exceed the maximum amount of rows allowed in excel. Also I need the data split up for viewing purposes.
I can easily just graph one column but how do I combine all the columns into one line graph with the data being in separate columns. Basically all the columns will be my Y values and X values are just 1:n.
Example Below:
Column AColumn B Column C159261037114812
Now in the example all of the values are x values.

Ok, so here's the trick:
I know how to create combo or mixed graphs with line/bars on single axis, and secondary axis. I even know how to do mixed stacked and unstacked columnar charts...
But how do you depict in single view graph
a single bar (1 datapoint) with a single line (upper control limit e.g. target).?
And I don't want to to use shapes to draw the target line.
I want the target line to be automatically plotted by Excel...

I want to do a mail merge from a pivot table. The pivot looks like this (bit simplified ;-) :
Name JanFebMar
Joe $12 $23 $34
joe(a)test.com $12 $23 $34
Frank $45 $56 $67
frank(a)test.com $45 $56 $67
Alex $78 $89 $90
alex(a)test.com $78 $89 $90
Created with: Name and e-mail as row items, months as columns and cost as values.
In the e-mail I want to address the person by his name and use the right e-mail address to send it. So ideally (I think) the pivot should look like this (e-mail address in the column next to the name instead of under the name):
Name e-mail JanFebMar
Joe joe(a)test.com $12 $23 $34
Frank frank(a)test.com $45 $56 $67
Alex alex(a)test.com $78 $89 $90
Now the problem is that I can't place e-mail in the column section of the pivot... Instead of placing the e-mail addresses vertical beside the name they are place horizontal...

I have a sheet of 2000 rows. What I want to do is merge the information into a word document with 8 rows of information on each sheet. These will then be printed and guillotined. what I want is to have the information for the second row to appear under the first one and so in position 9 and the third under that in position 17 and so on so I can just stack the piles up and they will be in order rather than having to sort them all into order. I do not know if there is anyway of tell word what oder to put the records in or if I will have to use a formula in excel.
If I have to do it using excel I need to be able to have a separate column which i can sort and it will then be in the right order for the merge. The first row will be 1 then 9 then 17 (adding 8 each time) up to row 50. Then row 51 is 2, 52 is 10, 52 is 11 up to 100. Then row 101 is 3, 102 is 11 and so on and so on.

I have an Excel spreadsheet with names and addresses which I want to mail merge into a letter on word (annual benefit statements). The names and addresses on Excel have been imported from system software and are all in capitals. Is Excel smart enough to be able to keep the first letter of text in a cell but to change the remaining letters to lower case?

I am doing a mail merge and one of my columns is an interest rate. It appears normal in my spread sheet but when I do the mail merge some of the number are extending about ten digits, for example, on my spreadsheet it is 5.75, on the mail merge it would be 5.759999999. It appears to be totally random.

I've succesfully managed to get the mail merge functioning from within Excel at the press of a button. I had a problem initially Word not shutting down properly but have solved this.
The problem I have now is that after the merge has finished and the spreadsheet is saved/closed and Excel is closed, the process tab in Task Manager says that Excel is still running. I found other instances on the net in other forums of people having a similar issue but alas no solutions. The full code for the procedure is below:
Private Sub cbMerge_Click()
Dim wrd As Word.Application
Dim mydoc As Word.Document
Dim lastrow As Long
Set wrd = CreateObject("Word.Application")
wrd.Visible = True
Set mydoc = wrd.Documents.Open("U:TSD3-Projects11-CBRNCBRN-036-CVF HVAC Main Contract-T13212-WorkingECR FolderTESTINGEQR Test.doc")
With wrd.ActiveDocument.MailMerge
.OpenDataSource Name:= _
"U:TSD3-Projects11-CBRNCBRN-036-CVF HVAC Main Contract-T13212-WorkingECR FolderTESTINGECR Log TESTING.xls", _..................................

I am looking for a way to make the data mail merge friendly for our clerical staff! The intention is to be able to create a letter to the parents listing the dates absent and unexplained.
There are currently 7 columns ; ID, Surname, First Name, Current Level, Current Form, Absence Date, Absence Code.
I have downloaded and implemented ASAP Utilities and the Transpose funcion is really useful - however it works in predetermined steps - 1, 2, 3, 4 etc rows of data are transposed, depending upon the number you select. Unfortunately there is no such pattern - each student thas a different number of unexplained absences. Some have 1 while others may have 20.

Couple ways:
1) Format the cell as Text: Format->Cells->Text
2) Enter the zip code with a ' preceding the number, i.e. enter 00345 as
'00345
3) Enter the zip code with the formula ="00345" ...

I have an Excel file that has a persons name in column A, company name in column B, email address in column C and a hyperlink to a specific file to be sent with the email in column D.
I have the code to send the email and it works fine.
I've searched the net for mail merge and hyperlinks and have only become confused.
Here is what I want to do, attach the mail merge created file to the email, then the file associated with the hyperlink, I want to attach the actual file from the hyperlink into the email.

The database is full of customer bookings and the email side is for sending automated emails regarding There Gift aid donation.
Im trying to run an Automated mail merge from excel via word. Basically im opening an a spreadsheet which has the same information as the Mail merge data source, its a refresh-able Query from microsoft query . I want to be able to click a button that opens up Word and produces an email mail merge and sends it to my outbox. So the emails can be viewed before the final send. I am using Office 2013.
Once i have this stage working i want to eventually move on to having a field on the main spread sheet automatically fill in saying Sent with a Time Stamp.I want to send either email or print a letter depending on what Address/Email information they have.There may also be multiple bookings from the same Customer e.g Restaurant and house booking, which will show separately, and i want to some how have a condition that it puts all the customers Bookings onto one mail merge letter, instead of sending 3 separate letters to one customer.
This is my code so far:
VB:
Sub OpenWord()
'Setting up Word Application Dim wdApp as word.application
On Error Resume Next
Dim wdApp As Word.Application
Dim wdDoc As Word.Document
[Code] .....
