1D and 2D Barcode generation VBA macro

VBA macro able to generate the 1D Code128, EAN, Interleaved 2 of 5 and Code39 barcodes, and the 2D Data Matrix and QR Code barcodes.

The macro is able to generate the barcodes as graphical objects or as text which will be shown as the proper barcode when the companion BarsAndSpaces.ttf font is applied to the text.

Usage

The syntax of the macro is as follows:

ENCODEBARCODE(sheetIndex; cellAddress; code; codeType; outputType; params; quietZoneWidth)
  • sheetIndex: index of the sheet in which the graphical object will be placed, in case of selecting that output type.
  • cellAddress: cell address in which the graphical object will be placed, in case of selecting that output type.
  • code: content to encode into the barcode.
  • codeType: barcode type to use. Possible values:
  • outputType: whether to generate a graphical object or just the text for which to apply the companion font. Possible values:
    • 0: use text.
    • 1: use a graphic object (default).
  • params: codeType specific parameters. See below.
  • quietZoneWidth: width of the 1D codes Quiet Zone. Default value: 2.

Example:

ENCODEBARCODE(CELL("SHEET"); CELL("ADDRESS"); A2; 1; 1; 0; 2)
