multiple data merge layouts

[EatMoreBacon]

Can I create multiple data merge layouts for a single document? (For example a catalog with varied page layouts or a calendar with varied number of week layouts)

Can I then choose which layout I want to use for each page of the document based on a value in the CSV file?

Publisher works with only one data source.

@EatMoreBacon, your topic description doesn't sound that you want to work with multiple data sources, so just in case here some more info to @anto's hint about this aspect:

I was looking to do a 12 month calendar. Most months need 5 rows. Some need six rows and if February starts on Sunday, it needs four rows.

It would be relatively easy for Excel to figure out how many rows I need for each month. But I'm not clear if there is a way to pass that info along to Publisher when I do the data merge (with holidays, etc)?

Thanks for pointing those out. Either of those two, you need to manually change the number of rows if there are too many.

I can do that. I was just wishing it were possible to do it automatically based on a value in the excel file.
