How to fill multiple worksheets
Hi, sorry if this has been asked but I'm unable to find the answer. I have a sheet with my students information on it and I want to autofill each students information onto individual worksheets. How ...
- Jul 24, 2021If I understand you correctly, then, you want to be able to print a copy for each student, a printed sheet that the parents can complete (and/or correct). Emphasis on PRINTED.
If that's in fact a correct understanding, your best way to create a really nice personalized printed sheet would be to use your Excel database (which is a good one) as the source for data in a MailMerge through Microsoft Word. That would give you the maximum amount of flexibility in formatting (including adding a nice graphic). The two packages (Excel and Word) are made to collaborate, and do so well, for exactly that kind of output.

mathetes My reason for wanting each student to have their own worksheet is so that I can have their personal contact information preprinted for my records and parents wouldn't have to fill out a blank information form for me because as someone with 4 children, I know how tedious and time consuming it is every year. I would be able to have them check it for accuracy without exposing their information to other parents. I could just run the report the district gives us with their info on it, but being the weirdo I am I would like to have that info on my own, (cute?) form. I teach 2nd grade.
I've attached a pdf for reference. TIA
