How to edit decimal places in mail merge
In Microsoft Word, when using a mail merge, you can edit the decimal places in the merged fields by using the Format
option. Here are the steps:
- Open your Word document and go to the "Mailings" tab in the ribbon.
- Click on the "Select Recipients" button and choose your recipient list.
- Click on the "Insert Merge Field" button and select the field you want to edit (e.g. "Total Amount").
- Right-click on the merged field and select "Format" from the context menu.
- In the "Format" dialog box, click on the "Number" tab.
- In the "Number" tab, click on the "Custom" button.
- In the "Custom Number Format" dialog box, enter the desired number of decimal places in the "Decimal places" field. For example, if you want to display 2 decimal places, enter
0.00
. - Click "OK" to close the "Custom Number Format" dialog box.
- Click "OK" to close the "Format" dialog box.
- The merged field should now display the desired number of decimal places.
Alternatively, you can also use the ROUND
function in your mail merge field to round the value to a specific number of decimal places. For example:
=ROUND(Fields!TotalAmount, 2)
This will round the value in the TotalAmount
field to 2 decimal places.
Note: Make sure to replace Fields!TotalAmount
with the actual name of your mail merge field.
