Создать datamatrix в excel

Надстройка Labels позволяет вставлять матричные штрихкоды формата Data Matrix в создаваемые этикетки.

В каждой этикетке может присутствовать один или несколько таких кодов.

ВНИМАНИЕ: для работы этой функции нужен доступ в интернет, т.к. используется веб-сервис для генерации картинки с кодом по заданному тексту.

Для формирования штрихкодов Data Matrix, в шаблоне этикетки необходимо:

1. Вставить в нужное место этикетки контейнер для баркода — автофигуру или объект типа «Надпись»
   (на ленте Excel на вкладке Вставка нажмите кнопку Надпись для вставки прямоугольной рамки)
    
2. Задать нужные размеры контейнера (ширину и высоту).
   Обычно требуется квадратная рамка (ширина и высота одинаковы)
    
3. Выделить контейнер (объект «Надпись»), и слева от строки формул изменить его имя на dmx

   

   Если нужно вставить несколько штрихкодов Data Matrix, то им можно задать имена вида dmx-1, dmx-2 и т.д.
    

4. Внутри контейнера ввести текст (используя подстановочные коды), который будет закодирован в этом баркоде.
    
5. В свойствах контейнера (правой кнопкой на объекте — Формат фигуры — Свойства) задать режим привязки «Перемещать, но не изменять размеры»

NOTE: A new product is now available since this issue was resolved that offers a better way to generate barcodes in Excel on Windows and Mac, the IDAutomation Native Generator for Excel.

Tutorial Updated 10/28/2021

1. Download and install a font package that includes Data Matrix. The package installs the necessary encoders. To generate barcodes directly in Excel, download and install the IDAutomation 2D XLS Font

2. Open Excel and set up the spreadsheet. In the example, data in column A2 will include the data to convert to the barcode. A formula will be written in B2 to produce the encoded data.

3. Minimize Excel and locate the VBA file named IDAutomation_VBA_DataMatrix_FE2021.bas or (IDAutomation_Datamatrix_Macro.bas—Demo verison). The VBA is located in the Integration folder of the product download.

4. Maximize Excel and select the Developer Tab.
Microsoft Support — Enable Developer Tab

5. Select Visual Basic to enter the Editor.

6. To import the VBA file, select File — Import File then search for and select the .bas file.

7. NOTE: If using the demo file (IDAutomation_Datamatrix_Macro.bas), you must complete this step. Otherwise, skip to step 8. Select Tools — References and search for the Data Matrix encoder. Choose OK.

8. Select File and choose Close and Return to Microsoft Excel.

9. In cell B2, enter the formula:
Licensed Version use: =IDAutomation_DMatrix_FontEncoder()
Demo Version, use: =EncDM()

and reference cell A2 to encode the data.

The encoded data displays as several uppercase alpha characters.

===================================================
To generate GS1 Data Matrix

=SUBSTITUTE(EncDM(A2,1,0,0), CHAR(13),»»)
=SUBSTITUTE(IDAutomation_DMatrix_FontEncoder(A2,1,0,0), CHAR(13),»»)

Setting the second parameter to 1 enabled ApplyTilde which allows you to insert ~1 before any Application Identifier (AI). Here is an example of A2 for GS1-Data Matrix:

(01)3456789012345 must be entered as ~1013456789012345

or using the Substitute function:

===================================================

10. Save the file.

HOW TO DISPLAY SCANNABLE 2D BARCODES IN EXCEL

GENERATE BARCODE IN EXCEL

(1) Apply the IDAutomation2D XLS font.

(2) Right-click the column and choose Format Cells.

(3) Select the Alignment tab and then check Wrap text.

HOW TO MAIL MERGE
To generate the barcode the encoded file must be used in a mail merge/data merge. Video Example of 2D mail merge. The only difference between the video and this tutorial is that the video uses the Barcode Add-In encoder and Data Matrix. Begin the video at 2:35.
Video Example

CARRIAGE RETURN ERROR
After merging the data into Word, a group of characters, such as _x000D_ or barcode
, may appear at the end of the merged data. To resolve the issue, return to Excel and implement the SUBSTITUTE function.

Example:

=SUBSTITUTE(EncDM(A2), CHAR(13),»»)

1. Right click command prompt and run command prompt as administrator.

Type in the following commands to register cruflbcs.dll

cd "C:Program Files (x86)Common FilesBarcodesoftFontUtil"
regsvr32.exe cruflbcs.dll

To register 64-bit DLL, please type in the following commands

cd "C:Program Files (x86)Common FilesBarcodesoftFontUtil"
%systemroot%System32regsvr32.exe cruflbcs_x64.dll

If you see the following Window pop up, your registration was successful.

2. Open your crystal report. Right click Formula Fields, choose «New…» from the context menu.
Type in «BcsDataMatrix1» in the Name textbox, then click «Use Editor».

After Data Matrix encoding process, even a short string might have much more code words than you expect.
While Crystal Reports allows no more than 255 characters in a formula field.
Therefore we have to split Data Matrix code words into separate parts, and concatenate them in a Text Object before apply font BcsDataMatrix.
As for how many formula fields are needed, you can find out by using the following function:

BCSDatamatrixFormulaNoForCR({Test.Data})

3. Create multiple formula fields as listed below if returned value of BCSDatamatrixFormulaNoForCR({Test.Data}) is larger than one. Then put them in sequence within the same Text Object.

BCSDataMatrixEncodeCR({Test.Data}, 1, 0, 0, 0)
BCSDataMatrixEncodeCR({Test.Data}, 2, 0, 0, 0)
BCSDataMatrixEncodeCR({Test.Data}, 3, 0, 0, 0)

The first parameter in the formula field is string to encode.
The second parameter in the formula field is index.

The third parameter of the formula is Format. Its values range between 0 and 30. When set to zero, it means auto-selected format.

The fourth parameter is Encodation method. Its values range between 1 and 6 which stand for the following encodation separately: ASCII, C40, TEXT, X12, EDIFACT, BASE256.

The fifth parameter is GS1 indicator. It is a Boolean indicating whether this is a GS1-compliant barcode. Set it to zero when this is not GS1-datamatrix compliant.

4. Insert a text object in your report. Drag and drop all your formula fields into this text object in sequence. You will see some hex codes in your report. Don’t worry! You have NOT applied BCSDatamatrix font typeface yet.

5. Right click Text Object and choose «Format Object» from context menu. Then choose «BcsDatamatrix» as font.

6. Click OK button. You will get data matrix barcode in your report.
