I am trying to create a planner that has dates that are going to be inserted using the data merge feature.
I saved an excel file as a csv and it contains all the information thats needed. It has hebrew dates and english dates (each is saved as a separate column).
I'm a bit confused how to go about this merge?
Does Indesign have a feature that's similar to the microsoft word "next record" idea?
If not, how do I tell Indesign to insert 5 different dates (which will be coming from 5 consecutive rows in my excel document)?
Any help on this topic would be extremely helpful.
Thank you.

Hi RS, Were you able to figure this out? I am trying to do the same thing but can't figure out the merge with multiple records and a few pages...

The best way for calendars is to create InDesign Tagged Text from Excel.
Depends on your layout - you can either create a table or contents for linked TextFrames.

Thank you. Do you have any tutorials or instructions on how to do that?

Can you post a screen shot of your layout? I'm wondering if a table layout might work.
