That's why you need a toolbox of methods to extract the information you want from any data set. There will be times when you can change the data configuration there will be other times when you can't make any changes. You will discover that data is not always organized in the optimum configuration for looking up values. The spreadsheets you create/use will become more complex as your skills develop. The first three functions are obviously look-up functions the last three are not so obvious. But it is probably causing a few headaches. Note: This change in 3.2 really is a proper approach to databases having mixed types is not proper database structure.
If there's no data the field won't take up any room, and only the correct field will show. Then for your mail merge put both the fee and the applicable or not fields next to the Fee prompt. OR do this, which is workable but a bit more complicated. Just put in 0, or just blank, instead of N/A
So: in the scenario I outlined you could: Here's what is in the database, and therefore what a mail merge would have access to. Here's an example of some test and screen shots I took. You can have all text, like N/A, or all numbers like 12, but not both. So your data might look like this:īUT that will not work because mail merges as of 3.2 (possibly earlier) don't like you to mix your types of data in a column.
But let's say that sometimes there's no fee, perhaps organizations don't need to pay for cat licenses. Your mail merge document, with the various prompts and the field names, would look kind of like this: You'd put together the spreadsheet data kind of like this, then create a database based on that spreadsheet. was primarily developed for Linux, Microsoft Windows and Solaris, and later for OS X, with ports to other operating systems.Let's say you're putting together a mail merge listing the fees people in the county have to pay for getting their new cat license. contained a word processor, a spreadsheet, a presentation application, a drawing application, a formula editor, and a database management application. It could also read a wide variety of other file formats, with particular attention to those from Microsoft Office. 's default file format was the OpenDocument Format, an ISO/IEC standard, which originated with. Other active successor projects include LibreOffice and NeoOffice. Apache renamed the software Apache OpenOffice. In 2011 Oracle Corporation, the then-owner of Sun, announced that it would no longer offer a commercial version of the suite and that it was donating the project to the Apache Foundation. Sun open-sourced the software in July 2000 as a competitor to Microsoft Office, releasing version 1.0 on. It was an open-sourced version of the earlier StarOffice, which Sun Microsystems acquired in 1999 for internal use. , commonly known as OpenOffice, was an open-source office suite.
