joy There are times we need to convert excel rows to columns.Excel inbuilt has a option to do this in easy steps.
Rows to Columns
Step 1 : Select the all rows to be converted as columns and copy them.
Step 2 : Click in any empty cell and right click and select Paste Special option from it.
Step 3 : A popup could come, from it check Transpose.
That’s it.See the result.

admin We can use excel as datasource for mail merge.We have to write the header and records in excel file which will act as the datasource for word mail merge.
The first row of excel will be treated as the header in the excel.
while using word as datasource and create a the word datasource we get an error “String longer than 255 characters ” when the concatenated fields string length increases 255. To overcome we can use excel as datasource.
