Good day

I have one sentence (Heading) to be merged across 3 cells but have text as subheaders
in each of the columns, how do I merge only the top heading across without effecting the
others?

Hi - Is it possible to automatically split the names of new rows added to a sheet using the split name tool?

Thanks

John

BTW - I'd also like to automate date calcs for new rows as well. :-)

Hi John,

Thank you for your question. I'm sorry, but it is technically not possible to have the add-in running in the background and split the newly added names once they are entered. You need to manually start it each time you want to split, calculate, etc.

I used VLOOKUPWIZARD to look up email addresses. it appeared to be working, as the desired emails were showing up. but I discovered by accident that the emails displayed were not the email themselves. The actual cell contents were complicated VLOOKUP formulas.

I need to know how to get the actual emails, to drive a mail merge campaign.
