Email data to multiple recipients (seperate emails)

Hi,

I send out daily reports to a number of my colleagues. Typically the data I send is usually only 1 to 4 lines of data with a header.

I wanted to build a macro to group the data by the recepients initials (contrained in the data), and then send out seperate emails to different distribution lists.

I know this is possible but I have very little VBA skills. It would probably save me 1 to 2 hours a day so I'm really keen to find a solution.

Let me know if you need any further information.

Thank you, Dan

Hi Daniel

Thanks for getting in touch. This is absolutely possible with Excel VBA, but you'd need to attend both our VBA Intro and Advanced courses, a total of 4 days training to understand all the code you'd need to build this macro.

I appreciate this may not be the answer you're after, so I offer this link which we discuss in the Advanced course: Ron DeBruin's site contains many good examples you can customise for your own purposes.

I hope this gives you some inspiration, please let us know if this gives you a starter.

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Generating Random Numbers

To generate a random number in Excel use the = RAND() function.

The value returned will always be between 0 and 1. To convert this to some other random value, you will need to multiply the result by the highest number you want to consider. For example, if you wanted a random number between 1 and 25, you could use the following code line:
= INT(25 * RAND()+ 1)

Since RAND() will always returns a value between 0 and 1 (but never 1 itself), multiplying what it returns by 25 and then using the Integer function INT on that result will return a whole number between 0 and 24.

Finally, 1 is added to this result, so that x will be equal to a number between 1 and 25, inclusive
