Barcode (EAN13) in Excel

[Toon]

Hithere,

Does anybody know a way to accomplish the following :

I would like to insert the (13) digits of an EAN13 barcode in one cell, and
having the graphical output in another cell.
After a lot of searching i only found some commercial solutions, and they
are very expensive.

If you know a solution, please let me know.

t.i.a. Noot

If you are looking for Bar Code information to use with Excel would suggest
starting at Russ Adam's own FAQ page, where you will see that free fonts and
software are availble as well as shareware and commercial packages.
BarCode1 FAQ Page

Bar Codes other than US Postal Bar Coding, the most common is UPC 39

Universal Product Code (UPC) and EAN Article Numbering Code (EAN) Page,
Bar Code1 FAQ Page, and Fonts pages by Russ Adams.

Free and shareware barcode TT fonts.

BarCode 1 Plug-ins, VBX, etc. Page

I have never seen any other specific information posted in the Excel groups on
how to work with barcodes. There may be newsgroups specifically oriented
to such things, would be good to know if there are. Would add it to my
mailmerg.htm page.

You might also try this Google web search

You probably would want to practice with some of the demos from the
commerical sites and then then what you can do otherwise.

Hi,
Change the font in the other cell to your barcode font.
