Bulk mail from pivot table in excel
To send bulk mail from a pivot table in Excel, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Prepare your data
- Make sure your pivot table is set up with the columns you want to use for the mail merge.
- Ensure that the data is clean and free of errors.
Step 2: Create a mail merge template
- Open Microsoft Word and create a new document.
- Set up a mail merge template with the fields you want to use for the mail merge. For example, if you want to send a letter to each customer, you might set up fields for the customer's name, address, and email.
- Save the template as a Word document (.docx).
Step 3: Export the pivot table data to a CSV file
- Go back to your Excel spreadsheet and select the entire pivot table.
- Go to the "Data" tab in the ribbon and click on "From Table/Range" to export the data to a CSV file.
- Choose a location to save the file and give it a name.
Step 4: Use Word's mail merge feature
- Open your mail merge template in Word.
- Go to the "Mailings" tab in the ribbon and click on "Select Recipients" > "Use an Existing List".
- Browse to the location where you saved the CSV file and select it.
- Word will import the data from the CSV file and match it to the fields in your mail merge template.
Step 5: Customize the mail merge
- Use the fields from your pivot table to customize the mail merge. For example, you might use the customer's name and address to personalize the letter.
- Use Word's mail merge features to insert the data into the template.
Step 6: Send the mail
- Once you've customized the mail merge, you can send the mail to the recipients.
- Go to the "Mailings" tab in the ribbon and click on "Finish & Merge" > "Send Email" (if you're sending an email) or "Print" (if you're printing the letters).
Tips:
- Make sure to test your mail merge before sending it to a large number of recipients.
- Use a clear and concise subject line and body text to ensure that your email is delivered successfully.
- Consider using a mail merge add-in for Excel, such as Mail Merge Toolkit, to simplify the process.
