@HappyChappy and @Rijnsent did some work on this several years back. I found the old thread but the file have since been removed.

Hi having great problems with bar codes currently using a web based site to generate barcodes (that work just fine) then cutting and pasting them into excel as a picture. The site uses Code 128 for the fonts.

However, I downloaded the code 128 font and thought it would be better to do it that way so I can produce the codes faster, but the codes are different from my down loaded picture. I make a barcode of 123456 but it won't scan. I have a feeling it has to do with the check digits but I don't know where to go from here.

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
