How to turn text in excel to mail?

We made a summary customised email for a group of people in excel per cell and now we want to turn these texts in excel to an outlook email ready to send to all these people.

How do we do this easily? (rather than the manual way of copying text from each excel cell, opening a new outlook mail, and then pasting the text in)

RE: how to turn text in excel to mail?

Hi Michael,

Thank you for the forum question.

Excel need to be VBA coded to do what you want. We are doing this on our advanced Excel VBA course. I will need to have advanced VBA knowledge to automate emails from Excel.

MS Word mail merge can send email to a list from Excel, but not add text to the body.


Kind regards

Thank you for your answer! A shame that VBA is required. I might look into this further one day.

Hi Michael,

VBA is very powerful and can automate all repeating tasks, but it takes some work to learn it.

Sorry I couldn't help you with "normal" Excel.


Kind regards

Excel tip:

Calculate age or service

The DATEDIF() function in Excel calculates the number of days, months, or years between two dates. So, this function makes it easy to calculate a person's age. To try this tip:

In a blank worksheet, type the birth date in cell A1, using slashes to separate day, month, and year.
In cell A2, type =DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"y") and press ENTER.
