How do i stop decimal points in a mail merge
In a mail merge, decimal points can be a nuisance if you're not careful. Here are a few ways to stop decimal points from appearing in your merged documents:
Method 1: Use the Format
function
In your mail merge template, you can use the Format
function to remove decimal points. For example:
=Format(A1,"0")
This will format the value in cell A1 as a whole number, removing any decimal points.
Method 2: Use the TRUNC
function
Another way to remove decimal points is to use the TRUNC
function, which truncates a number to a specified number of decimal places. For example:
=TRUNC(A1,0)
This will truncate the value in cell A1 to zero decimal places, effectively removing the decimal point.
Method 3: Use a formula with the INT
function
You can also use the INT
function to remove decimal points. For example:
=INT(A1)
This will return the integer part of the value in cell A1, removing any decimal points.
Method 4: Use a text format
If you're using a text format for your mail merge, you can use a format string that removes decimal points. For example:
&" "&TEXT(A1,"0")&" "
This will format the value in cell A1 as a whole number, removing any decimal points, and add a space before and after the value.
Method 5: Use a custom number format
In your mail merge template, you can also use a custom number format to remove decimal points. For example:
#,##0;-#,##0
This format string will display the value as a whole number, without decimal points.
I hope these methods help you stop decimal points from appearing in your mail merge!
