Excel Add-In Will Not Encode DataMatrix

Tagged With:-

I downloaded the Excel Add-In to use along with the IDAutomation DataMatrix Font Package in Excel.

After I select a set of data and press Change To Barcode, the data does not get encoded and shows as =EncDM_Text("1").

Can you advise on how to proceed?

Operating System: Windows

Application: Excel

James	Best Answer 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: https://www.idautomation.com/barcode-components/excel-native-generator/ [Support Note: Client sent in information via email.] There are various unrelated points to cover, numbered below for clarity: 1. 2D barcodes converted to CSV format will not transfer the encoding correctly because the CSV format cannot retain the 'stacked data' of the barcode. 2. The Add-In is a free font-encoder. Since there are so many security settings that vary from one version of Office to the next, we cannot provide troubleshooting for the Add-In, if issues are encountered. Try the following to resolve the issue: • Make sure the IDAutomation DataMatrix barcode font is installed. • Uninstall the Add-In through Control Panel. • Reinstall the Add-In from the latest version(as a user with administrator rights on the machine). • Reboot the machine. • If Add-In still does not work correctly, the official workaround is to use the free VBA font encoder. Pay careful attention to the tabbed topics. Posted 8.8 year(s) ago (0) (0) Report Abuse
