I'm sure this is going to end up being convoluted, but if anyone can help
with this I will be so ecstatic! I have an excel file that contains business names (Business), a unique ID that will be used later for generating a letter (LetterID), and a month field that tracks what month a particular order took place (Month). There are other fields, but these are the only ones I'm concerned with. I will be using this excel file for a mail merge with a letter template that will generate a letter for each of the businesses in the list. There will be an entry in the spreadsheet for everytime a business placed an order, so if Business XYZ placed 12 orders for the time period I'm dealing with, then there will be 12 instances of "XYZ" in the Business column of the spreadsheet...and the month column will contain either Mar, Apr, or May depending on when the order was placed. Here is the problem...I'm wanting to add a field to the spreadsheet called "Filename" that will concatenate together the business name, the unique letter ID used for them this letter, and the months that the letter will include information for. So essentially the filename template would look like this: BusinessName_LetterID_Months06 where Months could be any combination of Mar, Apr, and/or May and the 06 is just marking the year. Now concatenating the first 2 things is no problem...but figuring out how to determine whether the Months should be Mar, MarApr, MarMay, MarAprMay, Apr, AprMay, or May is causing me to pull my hair out. It's easy enough if there is only one entry for a business because then obviously the "Months" part of the filename will simply be whatever value is in "Month"...but if there is more then one entry for the business, how can I programmatically find out which months need to be included in the filename? I hope this makes sense...my brain seems to be turning to mush over this. -Brian |
