Are you using CTRL+F9 for the field boundary pairs {} ?

What am I doing wrong?
If I put this in:
{ IF { MERGEFIELD Mon_Start } = "" " " { MERGEFIELD Mon_Start \@HH:mm
} } The merge result is "Mon_Start" rather than the actual value from
the spreadsheet
If I put this in:
{ IF { MERGEFIELD Mon_Start \@HH:mm } = "00:00" " " { MERGEFIELD
Mon_Start \@HH:mm } }
The merge result is "Error! Too many picture switches defined"

A simpler alternative for the hourly rate format would be
{ Mergefield Hourly_Rate \# "0.00000;;N/A" }

Hi there
I'm doing a mailmerge from an excel spreadsheet. It has a variety
of time values, dollar amounts, and rounding.
While I have worked out how to write the code to include the
formatting, how
do I extend this so that blanks show as either nothing or N/A?
Time fields currently have this:
{ MERGEFIELD Mon_Start \@HH:mm }
Blank time fields are showing as "00:00" and I need them to be
blank Rounded fields currently have this:
{ MERGEFIELD Hourly_Rate \# "0.000000" }
Blank fields are showing as "0.000000" and I need them to be "N/A"
