Format cell for barcodes

[Pat Coleman]

I want to scan barcodes in to a range of cells in Excel

What is the strandard for formatting a cell in excel 2000 to store barcode
numbers.

The barcodes are a mixture of UPC and EAN numbers

All numbers - no letters

Can begin with zero

Juat want to store barcode as a series of numbers.

I will be scanning in the number

Thanks

You have at least two options:

Since bar codes can look like really big integers they can be manually
entered by starting them with an apostrophy.

For bar codes in their native form check out:
