A brief overview of how to make and print Code 128 barcodes in your Excel spreadsheets. If you use the barcode fonts in C128Tools, we have free sample spread. Using Azalea Software's C128Tools font collection to make Code 128 and GS1-128 barcodes in Excel is easy. Begin with our sample spreadsheets that include mac. The standard Code 128 Font Package encoders do not properly format data on Mac due to a conflict between Mac's Roman Character set and the Code 128 font encoder.

A dialog box appears on the screen:

Select 'ActiveBarcode' now and click 'Ok'. Now a barcode will be created inside your document. This will be a standard barcode of EAN-128 type. This is the default type. You can change this to any barcode type supported by ActiveBarcode: QR Code, GS1/EAN-128, Data Matrix, GTIN/EAN-13, Code 39, GS1-Data Matrix, Code 128, PDF417, DUN-14, EAN-8, EAN-14, EAN-18, ISBN, ITF-14, NVE, PZN8, SCC-14, SSCC-18, ...

Now you can modify this barcode. You can change the type, text, colors etc. For this click inside the barcode with the right mouse button. A pop up menu will open:

Select 'ActiveBarcode-Object' and then 'Properties...'. The property dialog of ActiveBarcode will open. Here you can modify the barcode as you like.

Enter the cell's name for the link into this property. That's it!
If you want to create a barcode that encodes data from several cells, you must first merge these cells into an helping cell. Then connect this combined cell with the barcode object.
In the following example, the contents of cells B3 and B4 are combined in cell B6. Cell B6 is linked to the barcode object.

How To Make Code 128 Barcodes A, B & C in Excel

Microsoft Excel is one of the most common programs used to create barcodes with fonts, mainly because Excel is such a versatile application that can increase efficiency in virtually any industry. Because of this, many barcode software companies have created various components to generate barcodes in Excel, and the most preferred IDAutomation Products are indicated in the Excel Barcode Integration Guide.

Our most popular tool to create barcodes from fonts in icrosoft Excel is the Barcode Add-In for Microsoft Excel. This is an excellent tool which makes barcode generation in Excel very easy. This tool can be used to generate a range of linear barcodes like Code 39, Code 128 Auto, UPC, Intelligent Mail, and more powerful 2D barcodes like Data Matrix, QR Code, PDF417 in addition to others.

One drawback of the Barcode Add-In, however, is that it is not capable of generating Code 128 subsets A, B or C. While the customers who require these particular subsets are certainly not in the majority, we want to be sure that all IDAutomation customers have equal access to guidance in terms of barcode generation. For this reason, we have created three video tutorials to demonstrate how to generate Code 128 A, Code 128 B and Code 128 C barcodes using another of our tools, IDAutomation Barcode Macros and VBA Functions, in conjunction with Excel 2010.

Below you can find each of the three video tutorials in alphabetical order, of course! Please let us know via the comments under this article if you have any specific comments or questions, as we are happy to assist!
