Hi folks
I thought this would be much simpler than it has turned out, so as ever..... I need help please.
OK, what I want sounds simple, I'd just like to have cells in a column of values (eg 21166985-48-14580) and on rows where the column isn't empty, create in the next adjacent column the text as a QR code. So for example, if cell A1 contained the value "1234", then B1 would have a QR code for 1234, if A2 value is "STUMPED" then B2 would be QR for "STUMPED"... which I am. I thought it would be as simple as a basic bar code where I could just use a font, but not so for QR codes. It needs to be a QR, as I might have up to 16 or 17 characters, which creates too long a linear bar code. I have tried the info I found on Mr Excel QR code generator modification, but that only creates a QR code from a single cell input, not something that will create what I need from a column of values.
Is it possible to alter that code to do something more, it's way too complicated for my meagre ability, or is there something much simpler?
Thanks
