Not really sure where to put this, mods feel free to move somewhere else if appropriate.

I am pulling info out of my database and inserting it into Microsoft Excel to use as a mail merge for a simple listing of companies. The problem is that I do not have all criteria for all companies, so for example if I didn't have an email in my example below, "Email:" would appear with a blank next to it. Is there any way to not show email if it is empty?

Here are two example screenshots, in yellow, I dont have an email for Pepsi, so I would like to not show the "Email" field at all. In the next row, i dont have the "year" field and would like to hide the "Year" label.

Example:

How can I omit criteria such as "Email" and "Year" if they are empty?

Hi, In my view, there is no option. if your database have email field and you choose the email name for email field for mailmerge.
