Entering A Barcode Without Getting +12 Formatted In
Mar 2, 2009
I'm trying to copy about 10,000 barcode over to a new spreadsheet, the prob is that when I copy them over they appear as XXXX+12 and then when I try and use them it doesn't like it. I can solve it if I format the column to text - and then double click it. This is ok for a hundred or so but fingers start to hurt after that!
I often have to enter large number of water bills into an excel sheet manually, which takes lot of time and it can be inaccurate, all the bills have barcodes and I am wondering if I could use a USB barcode scanner to capture and input the value of each water bill into an excel cell?
We have to process these vouchers with the following data items:
Log ID Vendor Name Invoice Number Invoice Date Cost Code or GL Acct Amount Description Payment Approver Date
We get the vouchers from another department and then we're required to key them into the billing system. I'm looking for a way to automate some of this task because it's getting tedious to key in all the information into the billing system when it's already on the voucher form.
We have a barcode scanner and am wondering if we could use that to scan the voucher and automatically populate the fields into Excel.
Im tryinig to set up a time sheet and need to have a barcode number that is scanned replaced with a name. Is there a way to look up the barcode scanned into a field (such as C3) and have that barcode number be replaced by a name?
The barcode lablels all have the following format: A318639....that is a letter followed by six numbers.
When I scan the barcodes into any cell, a dollar sign "$" appears in the front of the barcode string that is entered into the cell. The dollar sign is not a relevant part of the string of characters in the barcode label.
What I am looking for is a solution where upon scanning a barcode into any cell, the dollar sign is removed from the front of my string and I am left with just the seven character string which is shown above.
I have experimented with the Data Validation tool by trying to limit the number of characters that are allowed in a cell to seven characters, but that has not actually removed any characters from my data string.
I have a worksheet called ORDER where I have pallets and their contents: 1 barcode per pallet and 9 barcodes per box (9 boxes on a pallet).

On another worksheet called DESPATCH, I am trying to get a formula so when I enter the pallet barcode *p2* for instance in a cell. it automatically shows the 9 boxes details (without having to scan each box again).
I have a USB scanner connected to a PC. Data is entered into Excel when the part number barcode on a box is scanned. I have two worksheets that I will be scanning part numbers into, one is Group A and the other is Group B. On Group A's sheet there is a list of Group B part numbers that will be used for the lookup procedure when the barcode is scanned. The same is true for Group B's sheet. The groups should never be mixed, so if part number "B005" is scanned into Group A's sheet it should cause an error message to pop up. I've attached a workbook as an example. Is it possible to do this with VBA?
i am brand new to this forum, and not so fluent in excel for more complicated tasks.
i have been looking for a solution for this online, but seem to be running in circles, so thought i would post here.
I want to make an shipping list using a barcode scanner. i have a master list that contains all of the inventory numbers and the relevant item data in each row. i would like to be able to scan the barcode of the item and have excel automatically look up the row from the master list and put it into the shipping list.
I'm trying to use a barcode scanner to enter in information in a given Excel spreadsheet and then search for that exact same information in a column in the same Excel spreadsheet.
The barcode will enter in the numeric information in A1.
I am searching for the exact information in column F.
If found, I would like for the cell the information is in to turn a color such as green.
I found what looks to be a BASIC or perhaps early C form of code that will do exactly this, however I am finding it out of my grasp to 'convert' the below code over to VB for Excel, and I was hoping someone would be able to piece it together for me. Code128B is a barcode font that requires a 'computed' start and end bit, as well as a checksum character(s) in order for the barcode to be valid and readable by barcode scanners. This code (in whatever it is written, I don't really know), is said to do just that. Code:..................
I am using Excel 2013 and would like to input data into my spreadsheet using a barcode scanner. I've created some barcodes using an online barcode generator (Code 128-B). My barcodes are text as opposed to numeric. I initially tested it out using Access and it scanned the information just fine. However, when I try to scan in a code into Excel nothing happens, no error, no data, no nothing. Is there something I need to set in the options of Excel to recognize the barcode scanner as the input device? Or is there some other reason why the scanner might not be pulling in the data?
Can I make the cursor use only 2 columns? In other words, I know that when I scan barcode data into A1, I have the cursor automatically move to B1. BUT, once I've scanned data into B1, how do I make the cursor automatically move to A2?
how to create a barcode in an excel spreadsheet? I am trying to print out a sheet that includes a code 128 barcode of a specific number that I type in.
I use a scanner that initiates a f2 command and trips my macro. I would like to use multiple scanners using a 8 port hub but I am having trouble with a scanner starting my macro and another scanner dumping data into my macro before the first one is finished. This is dropping scanned data into my macros. Is there a way to prevent the scan from accepting data until the macro has completed its cycle.
My company uses 4 types of barcodes 8, 12, 13, & 14 number barcodes for our products my problem is that I can't figure out how to force the barcode to format properly no matter how somebody enters it if they don't use spaces or put them in the wrong spots, I can't use custom formats because there is 4 different layouts
8 digit should be "#### ####" 12 digit should be "###### ######" 13 digit should be "# ###### ######" 14 digit should be "# ## ##### ######"
these barcodes are in columns L, M, & N also right now 'm using a formula in another cell to verify the barcodes by calculating the check digit and comparing it to the check digit typed the formula i'm using is
I get a text file daily for routed deliveries containing a barcode, name, address and phone number that I convert into csv and then upload it into a route optimization software. after optimization is complete it has assigned packages to drivers and I export it to excel and print. My sorters are having a difficult time reading the addresses on the packages and assigning them to the proper driver, so I am trying to come up with a way.
My idea is that I can import the barcode as a custom field into the route optimizer and then when I export it, that barcode field will still be associated to that order. I want to scan the barcodes of the package into column C which will reference all of the barcodes in B and when it finds the match, it will return the value in A, the driver assigned to that particular package. This way my sorter will just have to scan the packages and throw it into the proper bag for the driver instead of having to visually scan the printed manifest to match.
I'm working with a line of code I can't seem to get right. I've got this string that will put breaks in, but I've realized it would make my life easier if the code, along with inserting a break, then inserted a formatted gray divider, it would make it easier. Here's what I have:
Sub BreakSections() 'This macro breaks the new data on sheets into their individual groups, inserting a blank line_ 'which will need to be filled with a gray dividing line Dim i As Long, j As Long Application. ScreenUpdating = False With Sheets("Contract Manufacturers") . Cells.UnMerge i = .UsedRange.Rows.Count End With For j = i To 2 Step -1 If Not IsEmpty(Cells(j, 5)) And Cells(j + 1, 5) <> Cells(j, 5) Then Rows(j + 1).Insert Next Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub
I've tried then to put this code in after the Insert:
But I end up getting a whole mess of gray rows, displacing a lot of data. Is it possible to do these things together, or I should write another macro that just looks for the blank spots? It seems like it would be easier to do it all at once.
I have Excel 2008 for Mac (vers 12.0). On a basic spreadsheet, the first column is for date which I have formatted so I can type in 15/8/9 and it appears as 15-Aug-09.
However, each time I open Excel after having Quit it, I have to reformat the cells in this column again as they revert to converting my date input with something like 39,123.
My other columns are formatted to currency and are always okay.
I have a cell that calculates an etch time, eg 41.88. The cell is formatted to give me whole numbers and quarters only so that the operators input is made easier, in this case 42.
When I use a macro to copy this to another worksheet, although it appears as 42, the actual cell data is 41.88. Anyway I can get the actual cell data to be 42?
I have a project where if the user enters 'R' into cell H17 then cells B19:K19 are to be filled with black color. These cells are divided into three fields: B19:E19, F19:H19, and I19:K19.
When I select these three fields and use the conditional formatting tool the only cells that are black are B19:E19. Even though the rule explicitly shows that cells B19:K19 are to be affected. In order to have all three fields black I have to make three rules (one for each field).
The same behavior happens when I use the conditional formatting tool and select the cells from within the tool's dialog.
How can I get all three of the fields formatted with one rule?
I have a cell that I've formatted to dd/mmm/yy, It used to work, but now it doesn't. When I type in 1/2/03, the formatted cell shows 0-Jan-00, The formula bar shows =1/1/2. I seem to have a formula in the cell, but I can't get rid of it. I know it's most probably somethinmg I've done , but I don't know what. I've tried everything I know. I can't seem to re format the cell , and I can't delete the formatting in it. I'm stuffed.
this code works fine on my desktop but on 2 of work's pc's it produces a error at the msgbox line
Private Sub Workbook_open() 'http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthread.php?p=306542&posted=1#post306542 Dim dDate As Date dDate = Sheet16. Range("a1").Value MsgBox "Today is the " & Format(dDate,"dd/mm/yy"), vbOKOnly End Sub
i have changed the security settings in macro's and one of them was using office 2000, not sure about the 2nd one but i will check next time iam at the office and grab the error codes.
Is it possible to sum cells that contain numbers converted to text? I used TEXT function to convert them because I needed to format them (to display three decimal digits, if number < than 0.05, three digits otherwise). But now SUM Formula doesn't work.
