IDCS3: Data Merge Problems

I have to admit, this is the first time I've tried the Data Merge function in InDesign. I have a pile of name badges that I need to get the names and departments on, but I've been running into some fun problems.
I have a tab-delimited and a comma-separated version of my data from Excel (just an FYI, both versions do the same thing). I have my three columns, "FirstName", "LastName" and "Department". The layout in my InDesign document should be set up correctly. I have just one instance of my badge on the page.
Where the problem is coming in is here. When I go to the "Create Merged Document..." option in the Data Merge palette, I have the "Records per Document Page" set to "Multiple Records." I then check the "Preview Multiple Record Layout" check box and the page populates with 8 of my name badges on the page. In the preview, all the names populate correctly on the preview page. Cool, that's what I need. But when I click "OK" and it begins the actual merge and creates the new document, what I get is the right number of name badges, but it's populated the text spaces with the information from line 16 of my data source on the entire document. It doesn't matter which version of the source I use or what information is on line 16. It always comes out with a complete document of just line 16's info on all the badges.
I have screen shots of the three steps and what I'm seeing:

Is there something wrong that I'm missing? Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Tim, you have taken all the proper steps for a Data Merge to work properly. You could try placing either of your tab-delimited or comma-separated files into another Indesign document, and then show hidden characters to reveal any unusual characters that might be lurking around line 16. If you do discover any abnormalities, you can clean it up, and then export a text file to be used as your data source.

  • Multiple Data Merge - Problem Resolve... Sort Of

    I've researched this issue all morning and found issues dating back to 2012 regarding the problems with Indesign's Multiple Record Data Merge. Many of the issues are answered with the basic set up. Create a new page as a single page and non facing page document. It appears that an earlier bug was resolved that caused data merge documents to be placed off center when produced. The issue that I was experiencing was similar to what I had seen but not covered or not answered when it appeared someone was posting a question about it.
    I started with a single page document, non-facing page, no initial text box, and sized to 8.5'' x 11''. I'm layout out name badges 10-up on a page. I had a previous template that had some graphics in the background for alignment purposes. I created a blank master page and a record holder for the name badge then loaded my data source, placed my data entries, and styled accordingly. Upon creating a data merge I selected Multiple Record and then previewed the data merge and positioned the elements on the page using the data merge controls top, left and column placement commands.
    The preview looked perfect. The problem came when I finished the final data merge. The resulting page was not correct and looked nothing like the preview. Records were strewn about the page and excessive amounts of pages were created. I spent 4 hours trouble shooting this, far more than this project was billed. At this point it was a mission. In a reply dated back around 2013 I found that someone had removed a layer from their document. I had no layers. The only thing that was not a part of the actual data merge was the graphics that I had on the page for positioning that were not tied to the data merge at all.
    I decided to delete these graphics and try to apply the data merge again. The results were perfect. I'm deducing from this experiment that the data merge needs to be done on a blank page. Which is counter productive to the Indesign mater page template. Any elements on the page need to exist as a a part of your data entry group and no other elements on the page. You only create one data entry group in the top corner of the page then use the data merge panel to position and duplicate. Otherwise, you will get a single page for each record you have with each record set 10-up in my case.
    Recap:
    Create a single non-facing page document with no intial text box. (if you have more than one page the Multiple Records option will be grayed out)
    Only have 1 layer in this document
    Set a single data entry set/group on the master page.
    Do not include any other graphics. Put them in after the data merge.
    Click the Create Merged Document button in the data merge panel
    Select "Multiple Records" from the drop down list
    Click the Multiple Record Layout tab at the top of the Data Merge panel
    Click "Preview Multiple Record Layout" at the bottom of the Data Merge panel so you can see the Entry Sets with the data in place
    Use the Margins and Layout or Records inputs to position the elements on the document (see note below)
    Click OK when everything is in place the way you like it.
    After the data merge is complete you will have a new document that should look like you want it to. Now you can go into this document and start adding your design elements.
    NOTE: Positioning the content without the base graphics can be tough if not impossible. What I did in this situation is placed my positioning guides on the page then went through Steps 1-9 to set up the document for merge. Once my settings were set I then clicked "Cancel" and deleted my positioning guides and graphics. The problem I was having was due to these elements being on the page. Once I created the document I then pasted my template guides back into the final data merged master page for production.
    Request to ADOBE: Fix this issue so we can design our layouts and position our data merge elements without having to backtrack.

    If you insist in multi-record data merge, you can have static/variable graphic and text components work. But, create a 3.5 x 2 frame (3.75 x 2.25 card w/bleed) around all of these components, and make sure nothing extends beyond this bounding frame. If the composition prevents you from enclosing all components, then make a PDF of content that is imported in as one graphic.
    Another suggestion: don't combine the functions of variable data merge with imposition.
    Create a 1up layout of business card to data merge the variable info.
    From this file, export to PDF.
    Then impose the individual cards with: an imposition app, PDF plug-in, Indesign script, or even manual placement into another document.

  • Master page spread - data merge problem

    ok - I  prematurely posted b4 that I could successfully do this but am stuck with one  problem that is a show stopper.
    I have  a master page spread [left and right pages] which has several fields which I populate on  over 200 pages with data merge. I got this to work ok but teh snag is  that the merge only works  on teh first master page - and since InDesig automatically starts with a right hand page - this would be teh 2nd page of my spread - I can get  both pages to merge data correclty but I wind up with  a starting right hand page - then a left hand page  facing a right hand page which is not for hte same record but the record below it. Is tehre any way aroudn this? Is tehre any way I can force inDesign to start with a  left hand page?

    whohee - it worked - thanks a bunch - you guys in this forum are gre

  • Data Merge - Problem with multi paragraph text

    Hi. Does anyone know how to use Data Merge for automating say a newsletter. The reason I ask is that when I produce a .csv file that contains stories with paragraphs, data merge reads the para returns as the next row/record of data. I have contained the story within " " marks and it reads OK into a demo of easy catalog, but data merge just gets all confused. Is anyone using data merge to automate newsletters / catalogues that have lots of text with para returns etc. I read in the adobe online manual that there cannot be any para returns in text because that's how data merge recognises a new record. Just thought someone might know a trick at the data source stage to get around this. Might be a stupid question but had to ask because it's annoying the hec out of me!
    Thanks in advance.

    wouldn't use data merge for this kind of automation, but rather XML, which is a bigger learning curve but worth the effort. a book by james maivald called
    A Designer Guide to Adobe InDesign and XML.
    data merge is great when the data being replaced is the same size, shape and position on each page, but with a newsletter, thats not normally the case and there is no way of threading the merged stories. i'd also imagine that having the stories within a CSV would limit characters which could be used such as " , and tabs (anything which separates the fields). as you say in your post, indesign doesn't have what a lesser program (word) DOES have, which is the "next record" field, allowing text to thread from one story to the next.
    an alternative would be to use a word file with styles and use the mail merge (catalogue merge) which allows the "next record" field, merge it in word, and then bring the word file in. it's a yucky alternative but it does work.

  • InDesign Data Merge problem with field names

    Hi to all.
    I am trying to create a sales catalog with data merge. I have product name, description, old price, new price and image. However, when I select my .csv file as data source, InDesign recognizes different fields as one and puts them all together. I tried copying and pasting to new spreadsheet,  retyping the info myself, saving as tab delimited and as comma delimited file. To better illustrate, here are exemplary screenshoots:
    Please help, I don't understand what I am doing wrong. I'm a regular InDesign user for almost a decade, but I haven't used DataMerge until now, never needed it. I have basic knowledge in Excel, so if I did something wrong there please inform me (do I have to tell it somehow to "split" them into fields?).
    Thank you in advance!

    I would recommend to test with different export types in Excel like:
    Tab-Divided txt files instead of csv or with different decoding.
    When you have learned which is working fine, you can select this always in the future.
    (There is also a possibility inside InDesign to change the type between tab separated text and CSV. In my experience it depends very much on the Excel version which would work. Microtrash has a bad history in localizing their programs, e.g. here in German, in numbers we write coma instead of a point, a point of a coma, so decided MS to exchange it every where on the Mac version with the outcome, that CSV files are not coma separated but dot separated and are not working on any data base import. So I can only use tab separated files.)

  • Indesign 10.1.0.71 - data merge crashes.

    Oh woe, oh woe and thrice WOE!!!  I thought that Adobe had fixed the 'crash on data merge' problem but nope, there it is again in InDesign 10.1.0.71 (fully up to date) on a Mac desktop (Yosemite 10.10.1). 
    We use data merge all the time (and it is one of the main reasons we have InDesign).
    There has been a fix in the past where the files in the Library preference and cache folders are deleted.  Deleting those files used to work (but took away all preferences (yawn)) but it isn't working this morning and this awful problem has come back to haunt me.
    There was another fix where the Adobe chap had me create a new User ID on my
    Moaning probably won't do any good but I do have to ask why Adobe can't seem to fix this problem once and for all.
    PLEASE Adobe, help me fix this problem.

    ME version means Middle East Version, it is the general term for all RTL versions. Until CS6 it was sold as separate version. Since CC it is included without any additional cost starting fro CS6 up to the latest version which is now CC 2014.
    Follow these steps as I have written before:
    Wilhelm Georg Adelberger  26.01.2015 16:04 (als Antwort auf: mariakaskillustration)
    You have installed Swedish InDesign, it is ok, leave it, don't uninstall it.
    Open the Creative Cloud Application.
    Opent the preferences and in the Apps change the language to English with Arabic support.
    Install InDesign
    Now are additional plugins installed which add new functionality to your Swedish version.
    You can switch back to your language in the CC app.
    This works with any other language system the very same. Each install will add plug ins to extends the functionality.
    InDesign chooses the same language as your OS.

  • Data Merge character set problem

    Hi all,
    i am trying to use data merge function. Whatever i do i cannot able to import my csv (or tab delim.) properly. I have Turkish characters in data file. When i open file from text editor i can see the chars. properly. I can also write in InDesign properly(my normal workflow).
    After i import into InDesign(from data merge) some chars doesn't show properly. I changed text field language Turkish, or none. whatever i did, i failed. I will be glad if someone help me with this.
    Thanks again.

    I don't have any Turkish text handy, but I recently did data merges in Chinese, Croatian, and Russian, and they all went off without a hitch.
    Do you know what encoding your Turkish CSV file is in? I'm guessing that it's not in Unicode. When you go to select your file for the data merge, make sure you click the "Import Options" button. This will allow you to select a delimiter character and encoding for your data file.
    The only way I'm sure that it works is to save a Unicode Text file out of Excel (it's one of the options in the dropdown) and import that as a Unicode tab-delimited file in the "Import Options" menu. There may be other methods, but this is the way I've been doing non-ASCII data merges.
    If my summary above doesn't work for you, let me know; I'd be happy to go dig up some random Turkish text and write up some step-by-step instructions for doing a problem-free data merge in Turkish.

  • Problems importing a datasource for a Data Merge? It might be one word...

    For the life of me, I could not figure out why this one CSV file was not importing correctly into InDesign CS6. I could see the datasource in the Links panel but nothing showed up in the Data Merge panel.
    Through trial and error, I figured it out.
    In the CSV file, one of the column headers used the word table. It's what the client gave me, so I never thought much about it. Once I changed the word table to seating, the CSV imported properly into my InDesign file and all was right with the world.
    One word, I couldn't believe it...
    Hopefully this will save you from all the trouble I went through.
    Cheers!

  • Problems with data merge

    I am trying to do a data merge in InDesign CS5 to make an employee directory. I have placed the employee information into a google docs spreadsheet and downloaded it as a csv file. I was partly successful once in getting the file into the document, but it wasn’t complete. More specifically, not all the titles of the columns loaded into the data merge box. One was missing and it was the photos column. In the spreadsheet I titled the photos column like this: @photos
    I have tried many times since, but now nothing happens at all when I select the data source. I’ve even rebooted my computer, but it didn’t help. Thanks for any help. Merissa

    If Google Docs is like Excel, you may need to title that column as    '@photos  in your spreadsheet. (the apostrophe before the @ prevents the spreadsheet from seeing the @ as an operator.)

  • InDesign CS5 Data Merge to PDF Problem

    Hello,
    Need to make 2500 tickets, data merging a csv file  causes indesign to fleeze up. When I try export to PDF, it creates the pages but does not merge the date, instead it  just leaving the data field. What do I need to do to get the numbers to appear on the tickets when exporting to pdf?
    Kinda in a time crunch!!

    Hi Jeff, thanks for the reply.
    There are no comma's in the csv it is just numbers 0001-2500. The numbers are all that need merging.
    When I go to preview, everything is perfect and all the numbers show up where they are needed, however, when merge and export the correct number of pages are generated but the numbers are replaced with the data field (<<nbr>>) instead.
    Thank you for your time.

  • Data merge skipping one cell

    Hello, having a problem in IDCS4 where data merge is skipping a cell in the EXCEL tab-del .txt file. i've saved both documents different ways (the txt through word, text edit, excel, etc.) done inx and save as with the id file. I'm doing business cards and its skipping one of the "titles", going into the next row - so everybody after that has the wrong title. i've tried adding a fake line or 2 with crap data to get it to reset, ive duplicated the column, but those doesnt work. theres no funky characters in that cell, i've rearranged everything and it always skips the second rows "titles" cell. saved as INX to IDCS3 and it works perfectly - using the same .txt file. any ideas? thanks in advance.
    ok done some more testing
    if i have the title seperated into another text box, it works correctly, while the other one still doesn't - everything is styled the same, and i have no options checked in the merge prefs.

    I'll hop on the obvioius guess and ask "Does that title have a comma in it?"
    When building data merge CSV files I make a textbox on the pasteboard, paste all of the data out of excel, do a find for the comma character and replace it with a word I know isn't used in my file "marklar" from south park, then replace the tabs with commas and paste that into a plain text editor, save that out as CSV. In any case I suggest when working with data merge to never use CSV as your working editing file as Excel has a tendency to format cells for no apparent reason when opening CSV. Short of having manual calculation set and knowing that everyone who touches the files also does there is room to be burned.
    Edit: Mac 2008 Excel is what I have.

  • How Do I get data merge to work without creating duplicate pages in a single page native file?

    I've called Adobe about this and they indicated it was some kind of setting that needed to be changed in InDesign, but wouldn't tell me how to do it unless I paid for an "incident pack" and talked with technical support.
    Problem: I have a single page document in InDesign CS5. It's a direct-mail postcard with large high-res images and complicated graphics on it. I want to merge a list of recipients names/addresses from Excel with this single-page design. Excel document has 2,000 names in it.
    I successfully create the merge using InDesign's data merge feature, but it creates a new InDesign document with 2,000 pages in it. Each page is a duplicate of my original file, but with different addresses on each page. Because of the multiple records and the high res images it has created 2,000 duplicates of - InDesign crashes. It also took about 4 hours to do the merge.
    There has got to be a better way to merge data w/o it created the same page over and over again.
    I can't make a pdf to solve this problem becasue I have to work with an in-house printer and they do a poor job of printing from pdf. So, I always send them native files. This printer does not have variable data software. However, if that is the fast and easy solution to this problem - I will force them to purchase it.
    Any advise or solution to this problem would be appreciated. Is there a setting in InDesign that needs to change so it doesn't repeat the single page design 2,000 times and cause InDesign to crash?
    Thank you.

    That's exactly how Data Merge works. If it's on the page, it gets duplicated. 2000 records is a lot, so I'm not sure if the images or the sheer number is what's slowing things down.
    One thing you can try is to moove everything EXCEPT the merge placeholders to a master page, then assign the [None] master to the page with the placeholder anbd do the merge. Change the master to the one with your static content after the merge. That might speed up the merge, but it won't do anything for the file being 2000 pages that each has to RIP for printing. The best way to deal with this is to find a printer who can do VDP printing and give him the template file and your data file, and let him do the merge in the print stream.

  • Automatization and data merge in CS3

    Hi there,
    Let me first sketch the problem. As an organization we publish a weekly booklet with a calendar and information about things about to happen, etc. This is all made in InDesign with a header on the first page (only on the first page), followed by the calendar and then a big text field on multiple pages with all the different subjects (and not in different text fields because it's the only way to be able to add an extra topic without having to move all the fields automatically). All the different topics are sent to us by mail, but it's a very time consuming job to sort them all out and some topics are easily forgotten.
    So, our goal is to let people add topics on the server, which returns - when the deadline is due - us a txt file with all the information (title, text, author, email, calendar item yes or no, calendar information, ...) needed. We then tried to use Data Merge to do the job, but this messes the pages up (the header we only want on the first page comes on every other page as well), it's not so easy to make the calendar items separately and instead of putting all the topics in order in the big text field it creates a new page for every topic.
    Is there an efficient way of doing this job, or are we overlooking some options to make it work with Data Merge? Thanks!

    That sounds to be beyond the capabilities of DataMerge. Investigate setting up an XML structure and importing your data
    as a tagged XML file.
