This is your field.
{DATABASE \d "{FILENAME \p}/../list.xlsx" \s " SELECT Format([Period], 'MMM-YYYY') AS `Period`, [Type] AS `Type`, Format([claimed],'£#,##0') AS `claimed`, Format([Paid],'£#,##0') AS `Paid`, Format([fine 50%],'£#,##0') AS `fine 50%`, Format([Penalties 10%],'£#,##0') AS `Penalties 10%`, Format([Fixed fine],'£#,##0') AS `Fixed fine`, Format([Penalties pid],'£#,##0') AS `Penalties pid` , Format([Total to be paid],'£#,##0') AS `Total claim` , Format([Interests],' DD-MMM-YY ') AS `Interests` FROM [Invoices$] WHERE [name] = '{ MERGEFIELD name }' ORDER BY [Period]" \l "23" \b "1087" \h}

I have no problem connecting the source file but it does not interpret in your field.

Someone here with more experience with using the DATABASE field may be able to help.

I am moving your question to the Mail Merge Forum. https://www.msofficeforums.com/mail-merge/

You have a simple mis-match between a field name in the source and the field name in the DATABASE field (i.e. Format([Total to be paid],'£#,##0') AS `Total claim` should be Format([Total claim],'£#,##0') AS `Total claim` or as Format([Total claim],'£#,##0') AS `Total to be paid`).

Your field coding could also be simplified somewhat:
{DATABASE \d "{FILENAME \p}/../list.xls" \s " SELECT Format([Period], 'MMM-YYYY') AS `Period`, [Type], Format([claimed],'£#,##0') AS Claimed, Format([Paid],'£#,##0') AS Paid, Format([fine 50%],'£#,##0') AS `Fine 50%`, Format([Penalties 10%],'£#,##0') AS `Penalties 10%`, Format([Fixed fine],'£#,##0') AS `Fixed fine`, Format([Penalties pid],'£#,##0') AS `Penalties pid`, Format([Total claim],'£#,##0') AS `Total claim`, Format([Interests],' DD-MMM-YY ') AS Interests FROM [Invoices$] WHERE [name] = '{MERGEFIELD name}' ORDER BY [Period]" \l "23" \b "1087" \h}

We have been through this before... (https://www.msofficeforums.com/mail-...tml#post151706)

You could adapt that code to this situation. What have you tried?

Thank you, it works on the document you worked on. To adapt to the document I have now (which is slightly different), it is difficult, because I don't know Visual basic coding. The solution is to learn that, which I will do.

It seems you haven't even attempted to adapt the code from your other thread. The code required for this project is way simpler:
Code:
Sub MailMergeToDoc()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim Rng As Range, t As Long, r As Long, c As Long
ActiveDocument.MailMerge.Execute
With ActiveDocument.Range
  For t = 1 To .Tables.Count
    With .Tables(t)
      .AllowAutoFit = False
      .Range.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphRight
      .Rows.Alignment = wdAlignRowCenter
      .Rows(1).HeadingFormat = True
      .Rows(1).Range.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphCenter
      .Columns.PreferredWidthType = wdPreferredWidthPoints
      .Columns.PreferredWidth = InchesToPoints(0.625)
      .Columns(1).PreferredWidth = InchesToPoints(0.75)
      .Columns(10).PreferredWidth = InchesToPoints(0.75)
      .Rows.Add: r = .Rows.Count
      .Cell(r, 1).Range.Text = "TOTAL:"
      .Rows(r).Range.Font.Bold = True
      For c = 3 To 9
        Set Rng = .Cell(r, c).Range
        Rng.Collapse wdCollapseStart
        Rng.Fields.Add Rng, wdFieldEmpty, "=SUM(ABOVE) \# £,#0", False
      Next
    End With
  Next
  .Fields.Unlink
End With
Set Rng = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
And, if you don't want to retain the £ characters being output by the DATABASE field, surely the appropriate way to do that is to not have the DATABASE field insert them in the first place.
