You'll have to install a Barcode Font

I have done that. What's the next step?

Thanks very much for the help

Glad to hear that!

@dsoraccoHow did you get it to work?

Let's say you enter the letters/digits you want to convert to barcode in A2 and down.

Enter the formula ="*"&A2&"*" in B2.

Set the font of B2 to the barcode font that you downloaded and installed.

Fill down from B2.

Thanks I figured out it was a glitch in the spreadsheet.  I deleted that sheet & started over, worked perfectly.

Now to figure out how to build the rest of the spreadsheet
