    Unhappy Barcodes

    I'm trying to enter barcodes into a spreadsheet, but when scanned with a reader, the letters do not make it correctly. I'm reading a HEX number and the reader is translating it to something else. The numbers are making it, but I get the following:
    A=A
    B=X
    C=J
    D=E
    E=>
    F=U
    What I want to know is if there is a way to automatically convert a number such as 041>59810300 to 041E59810300. My brain is a bit scrambled on this one and would appreciate whatever help you can give me.
    Thanks again

    Re: Barcodes

    Hello josephpatz,

    Welcome to the Forum!

    Are these barcodes being transferred to a single column of a worksheet? Is there ever a case where more than one letter appears in the code?
    Sincerely,
    Leith Ross

    Remember To Do the Following....

    1. Use code tags. Place [CODE] before the first line of code and [/CODE] after the last line of code.

    Re: Barcodes

    The string will always 12 digits per cell, and since the number is HEX, the letters will be some to none. Thank you so much for the solution DonkeyOte.
