Generate Barcode in Excel: A Complete Guide with Examples

Generating barcodes in Excel can be useful for inventory management, product tracking, and many other applications. In this blog, we will explain how to generate barcodes in Excel using a barcode font and a formula.

First, you will need to download and install a barcode font that is compatible with Excel. There are several barcode fonts available online, both free and paid. Some popular barcode fonts are Code 128, Code 39, and UPC-A.

Once you have downloaded and installed the barcode font, follow these steps to generate a barcode in Excel:

  1. Open a new Excel workbook.
  2. Select the cell where you want to insert the barcode.
  3. Change the font of the selected cell to the barcode font you installed.
  4. Enter the data you want to encode in the barcode into the cell.
  5. In the cell next to the one with the encoded data, enter the following formula: =CONCATENATE("",cell_reference,"") Replace "cell_reference" with the reference to the cell containing the encoded data.
  6. Press Enter to complete the formula.

The barcode should now appear in the cell with the formula. You can adjust the size of the barcode by changing the font size of the cell.

It is important to note that some barcode fonts require additional formatting or special characters in the formula. Be sure to consult the documentation for the specific barcode font you are using for any additional instructions.

In addition to using a barcode font, you can also use a barcode add-in for Excel. These add-ins can streamline the barcode generation process and offer additional features and customization options.

Here are some references for barcode fonts and add-ins:

Checking format of Email address in excel

Checking email addresses in bulk if the format is correct or not

So in your excel sheet if emails are in A column, go in the B column or other and as per column name put alphabet and row number like B1 cell and copy paste this code: 

=AND(NOT(ISERROR(FIND("@",A1))),NOT(ISERROR(FIND(".",A1))),ISERROR(FIND(" ",A1)))

In formula you can see A2 because A1 is occupied with head column of excel data, After that drag mouse down from B2 it will automatically change the cell row number in formulas or you can copy and paste the code to the other cells. But with respective rownumbers change i.e.

=AND(NOT(ISERROR(FIND("@",A1))),NOT(ISERROR(FIND(".",A1))),ISERROR(FIND(" ",A1)))

 For all the valid e-mails, it will give you ‘TRUE’ and for the invalid ‘FALSE’.
