Skip mail merge fields from Excel Workbook when blank/zero
I am creating mail merge letters (pay-slips) in Word 2003 from a list
of about 300 employee records in Excel. The list has 28 fields and some of the values in some of the fields in the workbook are blank or zero. What I need is that, when a value is blank or zero, then that field (both field name and value) dosen't show at all on the letter so as to make each pay slip contain only data that is non-zero and therefore relevant to its recipient. E.g. if the 'Overtime' field for a record is blank/zero (meaning this employee does ont receive overtime) then that field doesnt even show on the letter. In the letter, each filed is in its own row in a table. I've tried using the "IF...Then...Else" condition for mail merge but it leaves a space in the row when a field is blank/zero resulting in too may empty rows in the letter. I'm looking for a solution to taking only the fields I want from the Excel sheet. Also, If there's a way to to automatically remove the empty rows in the table when they're blank I'd finish of the solution I'd started. Hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance |
