How to mail merge multiple work sheets
Mailing merging multiple worksheets in Microsoft Excel involves combining data from multiple worksheets into a single document, such as a Word document or an Excel spreadsheet. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
Method 1: Using Excel's built-in Mail Merge feature
- Open your Excel file and select the worksheets you want to merge.
- Go to the "Data" tab in the ribbon and click on "From Other Sources" > "From Microsoft Query".
- In the "Query Wizard" dialog box, select "Use an existing worksheet" and choose the first worksheet you want to merge.
- Click "OK" to create a query.
- Repeat steps 2-4 for each additional worksheet you want to merge.
- Once you have created queries for all the worksheets, go back to the "Data" tab and click on "Merge" > "Merge Data".
- In the "Merge Data" dialog box, select the first worksheet as the "Main Record Source" and the subsequent worksheets as "Related Records".
- Choose the fields you want to merge and click "OK".
Method 2: Using VBA Macro
-
Open your Excel file and select the worksheets you want to merge.
-
Press "Alt + F11" to open the Visual Basic Editor.
-
In the Editor, insert a new module by clicking "Insert" > "Module".
-
Paste the following code:
Sub MergeWorksheets() Dim ws As Worksheet Dim lastRow As Long Dim lastCol As Long Dim i As Long Dim j As Long ' Set the first worksheet as the main record source Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1) ' Loop through each additional worksheet For i = 2 To ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Count ' Loop through each row in the worksheet For j = 1 To ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row ' Copy the data from the worksheet to the main record source ws.Cells(j, 1).Value = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(i).Cells(j, 1).Value '... repeat for each column... Next j Next i End Sub
-
Replace the code with your own data and formatting as needed.
-
Save the module and close the Editor.
-
Go back to your Excel file and press "Alt + F8" to open the Macro dialog box.
-
Select the "MergeWorksheets" macro and click "Run".
Method 3: Using a third-party add-in
There are several third-party add-ins available that can help you merge multiple worksheets, such as:
- AutoMerge: A free add-in that allows you to merge data from multiple worksheets into a single document.
- Merge Excel Files: A paid add-in that allows you to merge data from multiple worksheets into a single document.
These add-ins often provide more advanced features and customization options than the built-in Mail Merge feature or VBA macro.
Remember to always save your files in a format that is compatible with the add-in you choose, such as CSV or XML.
