Exporting formatted data to Word mail merge
How can I export formated data with zero decimel place from Excel into a Word mailmerge document so that it retains the zero decimel places. Currently Word puts back the default two deceimel places.

RE: Exporting formatted data to Word mail merge
Hi Thomas,
Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.
In the Word document can you reveal the Merge Field codes by using ALT+F9. Edit the merge field containing the data. It will probably look something like this:
{MERGEFIELD "Salary"}
For your predicament try:
{MERGEFIELD Salary\#,##0}
The line above means number format followed by 0 decimal places.
If you edit the field code as below, it will give you the currency symbol followed by two decimal places.
{MERGEFIELD Salary\#£#,##0.00}
I hope this answers your question.
Regards
Simon

Excel tip:Adding up time greater than 24 hoursWhen you add up time if it exceeds 24 hours i.e 27 hours appears as 03:00. Go to Format / Cells / Number / Custom. The format is hh:mm but if change it to [hh]:mm it will add up to the correct amount of hours. |
