Alternate UID DataMatrix Implementation in a Merge

Tagged With:-

We were following the MIL-STD-130 UID Marking Label Generation tutorial to form UID DataMatrix barcodes.

We need a way to join the various bits of the final string in Excel before merging with another program (be it the Barcode Label Software, InDesign, Word, etc):

~d029950614141~d02924099999~d030~d004

What is your suggestion?

James	Best Answer The tutorial guide you mentioned serves as a general guide (see the documentation specific to your needs to adjust the various bits of the final data in Column 19). General Notes: • For this work, you must enable ApplyTilde (or ProcessTilde) in the Barcode Label Software or the IDAutomation encoding function – see the respective documentation for more details. • The green and yellow columns in the below picture are to show an example of the Serial Number section being split to allow Excel to auto-number down (press Ctrl and drag down the numbers in yellow to auto-increment). • The data in columns 1-18 are all formatted as Text and Column 19 is formatted as General (so the CONCATENATE function will work correctly). • The example below may not be perfectly accurate from a UID DataMatrix perspective, but it is provided as a very general guide. • The user may do this in any way they wish, using 18 columns of data just allows each section to easily be edited for future use. • Refer to Microsoft’s Excel guides for Excel-specific questions.
