Mail Merge to create specific number of table rows

macropod · #1 08-22-2011, 04:19 AM

Hi flackend,

For this, you could create whatever conditional tables you might need and embed each if them in an IF field, coded along the lines of:
{IF{MERGEFIELD location}= "Hall A" "Table for Hall A"}
{IF{MERGEFIELD location}= "Hall B" "Table for Hall B"}
etc

Note: The field brace pairs (ie '{ }') for the above examples are created via Ctrl-F9 - you can't simply type them or copy & paste them from this message.

It worked great, thanks! I didn't think realize you could insert a table in an IF statement like that!
