lastingMadness Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) EDIT: It's officially been solved! Thanks to everyone who downloaded the project to try and help and special thanks to Stokerg for finding the data merge layout I had left in the wrong spot. I'll leave the fixed version of the project here for anyone who might find it useful. I will also probably put it in "Share Your Work" with a guide. Thanks again! Hello friends from the Internet. I have been working on a calendar-generating tool in Affinity Publisher that has the following pages: A front cover page to be adjusted in post A page set up for data merge with a picture and text for the month, a grid of days with holidays setup to merge A back cover page with a data merge layout that shows each month's picture on the back Right now, if I go into the data merge manager and step through each record on the included excel sheet, everything appears to look normal, but when I click the merge button, I get the font cover page, a single month page for January, and a back cover page with the image for every month on it. I can't seem to get the data merge to give me calendar pages for each month. I've already checked the excel sheet for blank cells and can't find ones that should matter. I would love it if someone could help me figure this out. Thanks friends!

Old Bruce Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I am confused as to what the final result should look like. Is it 14 pages, front cover on page 1 then jan-dec on pages 2-13 then back cover? lastingMadness 1 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.2 Affinity Designer 2.3.1 | Affinity Photo 2.3.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.3.1 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff stokerg Posted October 19, 2023 Staff Share Posted October 19, 2023 Hi @lastingMadness, This appears to be caused by the Data Merge Layout group that's hidden in the Layers Panel. If you delete the group shown in the attached screenshot from the Layers Panel, once thats deleted, you'll be able to carry out a merge correctly lastingMadness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
