Generate Word documents from Excel data in 3 simple steps.
Step 1-Upload Excel: Upload the Excel file and choose the sheet from which you want to perform the merge. After that, select the orientation of your Excel (rows/columns) data. Horizontal orientation is set as default.
Step 2-Map fields: You can populate Excel data as-is. If Excel headers match with the template's dynamic field names, the system automatically maps them. Hence, you can skip this step. There is also an option for manual mapping. Thus you can control the data you wish to show on your documents.
Step 3-Generate files: You can use one of the dynamic fields for naming the files. The system generates Word files in bulk. There is an option to add dynamic prefixes to the names of the documents, for easy identification.
Step4-Document Distribution: This is an optional step. As in the mail merge, you can send generated documents as attachments to individual recipients. The system auto-sends generated documents to the listed email IDs, with a custom email body and subject. You can use dynamic fields in the body and subject.

If you have a large number of calculations in your XLSX sheet, it's easy to perform them from top to bottom. Thus, in loan and mortgage data files, you find Excel headers in the first column. In subsequent columns, each column represents one record. While populating these Excel files into Word templates, the population has to happen vertically, from top to bottom and then left to right. Here the calculations are carried out in a certain order, not necessarily in the "fill order" of the Word template.
Below is an example of such a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The headers are in the first column and invoice records are in the next three columns.
The system addresses this scenario, very elegantly. It produces one invoice document for each column of invoice data. Select the orientation of your Excel headers. The rest of the steps to merge cells are very similar to horizontal rows.
Business users can merge multiple Excel records into a single Word document without any IT help. They can use the existing Word template and Excel as-is, without any modifications. Thus, it's business-user-friendly, secure, and fast.
You can have multiple tables inside the template. The system can compute the sum for each of the table columns. For more details on how it works, refer to the many-to-one mail merge
