I have multiple spreadsheet files that each represent one unique item. As
an analogy, think of the spreadsheet as a basket that contains a variety of
eggs (both calculated and hand-entered data). I have multiple baskets each
with multiple eggs. Each basket (spreadsheet) is associated with one
person. Each person can have multiple baskets (although that's probably not
relevant).
I also have a letter, with which I want to do a mail merge - against each
spreadsheet. i.e. each letter needs to draw multiple pieces of data (eggs)
from each spreadsheet, one letter per spreadsheet.
Normally to do a mail merge you have one data source. The problem of course
is that I don't have one data source, I have an unknown number - each
spreadsheet is a data source. So I'm at a loss as to how to mail merge
against multiple data sources in an automated fashion.
Would it be possible to create a 'master' spreadsheet, linked to the
various single spreadsheets and then do the mail merge from the
'master'?
