How to mail merge addresses and skip blank fields

Trying to mail merge a numbers sheet into pages where I have an address line #1 and address line #2 for exteneded address information. If address line #2 is empty I don't want a blank line in my addresses box between address line #1 and the City, State Zip.


I'm guessing it's something I can fix with formatting in my address block but I'm not sure how to fix it.

Hi Ed_T,


For help with merging cells, check the restrictions with the steps below found in the article here: Merge or unmerge cells in Numbers on Mac


"Merge or unmerge cells in Numbers on Mac

Merging table cells combines adjacent cells into a single cell. Unmerging cells that were previously merged retains all the data in the new top-left cell.

A table showing sets of merged cells to organize the grades for two students in one class.

Here are some restrictions:


  • You can’t merge nonadjacent cells or cells from different areas of the table—for example, cells from the body and the header.


  • You can’t merge columns or rows.


  • You can’t split a cell. If a cell has never been merged with another cell, it can’t be unmerged.


Note: You can’t use forms for tables with merged cells. Forms in a Numbers for iPhone or iPad spreadsheet are hidden when you open the spreadsheet in Numbers for Mac. In Numbers for Mac, merging cells in a table linked to a form may clear the form."



If you continue to have an issue, reach out to the Numbers support team directly.
