Dynamic Columns for Word Mail Merge Tables

[Jacob Rieger]

Subject line really says it all, I'm curious if it's possible to have a table with dynamic columns based on number of entities inside of a mail merge.

Hi Jacob,

Thank you for using Syncfusion product.

It's possible to have a table with dynamic columns based on number of entities inside of a mail merge.
No, it is not possible to have a table with dynamic columns based on number of entities inside of a mail merge using Essential DocIO.

Currently DocIO doesn’t have support for performing mail merge in column wise. We will include this feature in one of our upcoming release. We request you to visit our website periodically for feature updates.

If you are trying to perform mail merge in column wise manner using DocIO, kindly provide us the details of complete working scenario and along with the sample data values(dummy data source) which is used at your end. Thereby we will analyze the feasibility further on the mentioned requirement and update the details with the alternate possible solution at the earliest.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hello, 

Was the column-wise manner for mail merge ever implemented?

I have a set of data that is a count summary. (ex. { "step1":"2", "step2":"4", "step3":"1" })

The format I am looking for would be for each step to be a new column in a table as opposed to a new row. 

ex.

step1	step2	step3
2	4	1

Using a template like

<<TableStart:Steps>><<StepName>>

<<Count>><<TableEnd:Steps>>

Thanks,

Hi Levi,

Thank you for your update.

Essential DocIO perform mail merge in row wise manner. As mentioned earlier, Essential DocIO doesn’t have support to perform mail merge in column wise manner. So, we suggest you to define the columns with merge field as per your requirment and also add StepName and StepCount in both cell. We have prepared the sample to achieve your requirement.
