Data Merge question from a noob

[Mirna33432238vs01]

Is it possible to use Data Merge so that it fills up products left to right, with each box having its own contents according to the data source sheet I'm using.

This is the best videos I have ever seen on Data Merge

And there's a part 2

Yes... sort of. Data Merge can do catalog-style setups, but there are dedicated plugins that would be better suited for the purpose. I've written about data merge "multiple record madness" elsewhere https://colecandoo.com/2013/12/28/data-merge-multiple-record-madness/ but you can - sort of - do what you want to do in your screenshot. Difference is that you would set up one record set only (don't populate the whole page) and then upon creating the merged file, use the multiple record option and the rows and the columns for the merge are set there.

Difficulty comes from the scope of the project - that is, how many records are there, how often will the data change, and will the data always conform to the box i've made; or does this go outside the scope of what I've done. This is why my advice leans into using a plug-in if the scope of the project is large.

Yeah, that was the problem. Thanks!
