      Hi,

      This is my first post in this forum guys, hope you can help me!

      I am using Indesign to create a product catalogue. However there are thousands of products all stuffed in an Excel file, they also need to have their product image which are not included in an Excel file. I have the template ready on Photoshop, is there some way how I can create a batch to read from the Excel file, like a batch processing or something please?

      Any help, will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

      I’m not sure if how easy or possible it is with the vanilla version of data merge within InDesign, but off the top of my head I think Em Software (https://emsoftware.com/) has a few InDesign plugins that work exclusively with merging product catalogs like you’re talking about from Excel to InDesign. The plug-in’s are spendy but it might make you’re life easier (and possibly worth the cost) if you’re doing this monthly.

      Just a note that I have no affiliation with Em Software, nor have I used their products, but thought I would at least mention them as their products sound relevant to what you’re working on.
