How can I populate a dynamic form from Excel data (beginner)

Avatar

Level 1

I am reasonably certain this is beginner-level but I cannot seem to figure out how to do this. I have data in an ecxel file and I would like to import that data into a form using LS. I need to distribute the unique data to each recipient. (I have included an example below) I would really appreciate any advice. If there is a tutorial that explains this I would be happy to go through that. Thanks in advance.

I would like to send a template e-mail to each sales rep at "PC.com" that says:

Dear <SalesRep>,

<Customer> has the following equipment:

<Account No> | <Customer> | <Equipment>

I would like all the data for each customer to go to the sales rep. For instance, Jim should get an e-mail stating that "Pear Computing" has two items, and a separate e-mail stating that "Orange Computing" has two items. What I want to avoid is the MS Word mail merge solution that equates to Jim getting 4 emails. I would like the equipment to be grouped by customer number or account number. I would prefer to have a dynamic layout with flowed page as the number of items per customer will vary.

PLEASE HELP!
