Excel Advanced course
Excel/Mail Merge
Hello
I run a virtual learning environment. Each course in this environment has a role that allows some users to edit the course area. This means they place content in there. I would like to be able to send the tutors reports on the usage in the course area. I have created a query that gives me a massive spreadsheet with each tutor identity and a link to each course where they can access a report of usage.
The problem is many of the tutors can edit across many courses. This means that there is a row per tutor per course.
tutor1, course1
tutor1, course2 etc
If i use this data for an email merge, I will end up with one email per course, which will mean multiple emails and general annoyance.
I would like to reformat that data so I can get a single record for each tutor that gives a list of the reports they can access like this:
tutor1, course1, course2,course3 etc.
tutor2, course1, course2,course3 etc.
Any help you can give with this would be very appreciated.
Tina
RE: Excel/Mail Merge
Hi Tina,
I would suggest using a Pivot Table, a technique used in the Advanced course. This might help you consolidate the Tutors into Tutor1, Tutor2 etc.
Martyn has just passed on your details. I will give you a call at 1 if I can still be of help.
Kind regards

Excel tip:Ctrl+d's double lifeSuppose I have a formula in B1 that I wish to copy into B2:B10. I can select B1:B10 then press Ctrl+d to copy the formula down the selected range. Users generally ignore this shortcut in favour of double-clicking on the fill handle to copy down, but Ctrl+d is useful sometimes particularly when there is no data in surrounding columns to guide to how far the double-click method should copy formulae. |
