Assuming you have the barcode font, just change column B to the correct font and have the cells reference column A (eg. =A1). I believe there are different ways to format Barcodes depending on type, the ones I use you need to have a * at the start and finish in order for it to scan.
i don't appear to have a barcode font
again , ive tried to find one but here at work it will not let me download anything
Hi
You could try http://www.dafont.com/3of9-barcode.font. As mrshl9898 says, there are different barcodes but this is a common one.

I too have tried this, and the font does convert to a barcode, but after printing, my scanner doesn't recognize it. Do you know of a good Code 128 font that actually works?
Ask your scanner what kind of bar code it wants ....
Entia non sunt multiplicanda sine necessitate
It's a WASP scanner, and I went through the set-up protocols. It does read other barcodes, on asset tags as an example. It just does not recognize the 3OF9 font for some reason...
Hi
Don't forget to include asterisk before and after text being barcoded. Printing can be quite dependent on font size, sometimes two lines of barcode, 1 above the other can work. I can't think of anything else other than preserver with these options.
