How to mail data from excel
There are several ways to mail data from Excel, depending on the type of data and the recipient. Here are a few options:
Option 1: Using Excel's Built-in Mail Merge Feature
- Open your Excel file and select the data you want to mail.
- Go to the "Data" tab in the ribbon and click on "From Text" in the "Get & Transform Data" group.

Option 2: Using Excel's VBA Macro
-
Open your Excel file and press "Alt + F11" to open the Visual Basic Editor.
-
In the Editor, insert a new module by clicking on "Insert" > "Module".
-
Write a VBA script to send the data as an email. For example:
Sub SendEmail() Dim olApp As Object Dim olMail As Object Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") Set olMail = olApp.CreateItem(0) With olMail .To = "[email protected]" .Subject = "Test Email" .Body = "Hello, this is a test email." .Attachments.Add "C:\Path\To\Your\Excel\File.xlsx" End With olMail.Send End Sub
-
Save the module and close the Editor.

- Select the data you want to mail and click on the add-in's button to send the email.
Option 4: Using a Scripting Language
- Use a scripting language such as Python or PowerShell to read the data from your Excel file.

smtplib
library:import smtplib from email.mime.text import MIMEText

Send email
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587) server.starttls() server.login("[email protected]", "your_password") server.sendmail("[email protected]", "[email protected]", msg.as_string()) server.quit()
