Printing Bar Codes in Excel

Azalea Software's barcode fonts can be used to create bar codes with Microsoft Excel projects. Our barcode software creates UPC barcodes, Code 128 barcodes, Interleaved 2 of 5 barcodes, Code 39 barcodes, as well as other bar code symbologies.

Creating barcodes in Excel is an easy two part process:
  - pass your data to our function
  - format the returned value in one of our fonts

You can not simply format a chunk of text in a bar code font and expect to create a scannable symbol. To assist you, all of Azalea's products come with sample code to help you integrate our fonts in your Excel spreadsheet. The sample code adds the start and stop bars, calculates any necessary check digit(s), and maps the output into our fonts' character set. This assures you that any bar code you create will be scannable without having to write all needed code yourself.

Begin by downloading AzaleaBarCodes.xla into your XLStart directory (Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\XLSTART). Put barcode.dll into either your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 or \WINNT\SYSTEM32 directory. Then our barcode functions will appear as user defined functions in your Excel spreadsheets.
