Can I scan a barcode that gives a command?
I want to use a barcode scanner to store specific barcode numbers in a specific excel sheet.
I am putting circuit boards with a barcode into a housing. The plan is to put a serial number on the housing eg. 000001, 000002, etc.
I would like to make a seperate excel sheet for each housing, sheet name 000001, 000002, etc.
Next I would like to have a barcode on each housing that, when scanned, commands excel to go to the corresponding sheet. Basically a command that says "goto sheet000001! A1", so the guys in the workshop can scan a housing followed by the circuit board numbers that go in that specific housing and therefore in the correct sheet...
So I get seperate sheets, each with the numbers of the used circuit boards in it?
Is this possible? Can I make excel jump to a sheet immediately without pressing shortcuts?
If not, can I put the serial numbers in the columns, make excel jump to the right column through a scan action and scan the circuitboard numbers in the rows below it? Thanks!
