Use mail merge in report elements

The mail merge feature allows you to combine both static and dynamic content within the same control (e.g. to append some text prefix or postfix to a value obtained from the database), or even bind a control to multiple data fields at one time. Mail merge is available for the following controls: check box, label, rich text, table cell.

To embed data into a control's static content, type in data field names surrounded by [square brackets].

Example of embedded dynamic data

To learn how values formatting can be applied to the embedded data fields (e.g. for them to be treated as currency, or date-time content), see Change value formatting of report elements.
