Note: A new product (Native Barcode Generator for Excel) has been released since this post was resolved that offers an easier method of generating barcodes in Excel.


To create barcodes using a font, two components are required:
(1) Barcode Font
(2) Font Encoder

A font encoder is a component that takes the data that will be converted to a barcode and formats it into another form of data that the barcode font can understand.

• How to Create 1D Barcodes (Code 128, Interleaved 2 of 5, UPC, EAN, Code 93, Code 39) in Excel

• How to Encode Data Matrix in Excel for Mail Merge*

• How to Encode QR Code in Excel for Mail Merge*

• How to Encode PDF417 in Excel for Mail Merge*

• How to Encode Aztec in Excel for Mail Merge*

• How to Create Universal Barcode Fonts in Excel

• How to Create Databar Barcodes in Excel

• How to Create IMB/Intelligent Mail Barcodes in Excel


VBA Functions

*NOTE: Microsoft Excel may be used as a data source for the font; however, it is difficult to use 2D barcode (Data Matrix, PDF417, QR Code, and Aztec) fonts in Excel because of the encoded data's line feeds and carriage returns. Excel cannot properly handle these characters in a cell. Therefore, you receive a barcode that is not square-shaped.
