Barcode ActiveX Control
Supplemental Text in Barcodes Using LinkedCell in Excel
- This tutorial shows how to add text above and below the barcode. The values come from three different cells in the sheet. The barcode updates automatically when these cells change.
- We accomplish this using LinkedCell and VerticalBarTextEntry properties.
- See the previous tutorial for basics on dynamic barcodes in Excel.

Step 1. Setup
- In this example, our barcode value is in cell B3. Supplemental text is in cells B4 and B5.

Step 2. Combine into One Cell
- Our data must be in the following format:
BARCODE|Top Text|Bottom Text - To do that, we enter this formula in cell A1:
= B3 & "|" & B4 & "|" & B5

- The Result:

Step 3. Insert ActiveX Control
- Click on Developer tab > Insert > ActiveX Controls > More Controls > BarCodeWiz Class
- See the previous LinkedCell tutorial on more information on how to insert the control.

Step 4. Set Properties of the Control
- Set VerticalBarTextEntry to True
- Set LinkedCell to A1


Step 5. Position the Control and Set Other Properties
- BackColor: &H00C0FFFF& (Yellow)
- Symbology: UPC_A
- ControlAlignment: Middle_Center_Align
- OutlineStyle: Dash_Outline
- OutlineVisible: True
- OutlineWidth: 30
