    Code 128 font not readable by barcode scanner

    I created a program which converts texts to code 128 using code 128 font, but when I printed it, it is not readable by my scanner, my research founds out that checksum... and other things but i don't understand it. Can anyone help me how to make the code 128 readable? Thank you very much

    Hi earvinnill,

    I think you are looking for the Char() function in Excel. If you type in a cell =Char(128) and press enter, it will show you the character that is represented by code 128.

    Sorry,

    The Char() function needs numbers in it. It will only return a single character.
