Hi Mike,

Thanks, it worked. But as I said I want it in a Tabular form. Well I know I can convert the Table to Text, which is the last option I’ll have.

Here is the snapshot of the desired output:

Secondly, when I tried Data-Merge in Tables on a new page, the Data-Merge created 50+ pages i.e. one for each. Even though the text-frame was a Master Text-Frame. Is this the default behaviour of Data Merge or am I missing something.

Similarly, when I tried the Data-Merge on a Tabular text, the output was 1000+ pages. Each record was on a separate page.

The script you have shared here is dedicated to this workflow or will it work with any data/csv file.

@David, is there any in-depth course on Lynda for both XML and Data-Merge. I would like to go through it.
