Ihave an Excel sheet with the following 6 headers(top of each col)
Name address phone 16 dec 23 dec 30 dec
Below is that various data
Smith 34 Water st 888 123 2345 10 20 5
the 10,20,5 are number representing donation for the dates above.
I know how to do the mail merge showing the name,address, phone and the 10
20 and 5
what I really want to do is as follows

Smith
34 Waters
888 123 2345
16 dec 10
23 dec 20
30 dec 5

How do I show that DATES
Thanks
 
Your problem is that the dates have been used as field names (headers)
rather than as data. Although it may be possible to get the field names
brought in as a part of the merge it would take code to do it - there is no
"built-in" feature to include the names of the fields and I have no idea
what the code might be.

The easiest thing would be to just type the labeling into the main doc just
as though they were To/From/Regarding labels in a memo you were merging to.
In this case you would precede the data fields with typed labels such as 16
Dec: [field], 23 Dec: [field], , etc.
 
If I understand you correctly then you would need

{Mergefield Name}
{Mergefield address}
{Mergefield phone}
16 Dec {Mergefield "16 dec"}
23 Dec (Mergefield "23 dec"}
30 Dec {Mergefield "30 dec"}
