What is a barcode, and what are they used for?

Barcodes are a series of black and white lines used to encode data. They are commonly used in retail settings to track inventory, but can be used for various other purposes as well. Barcodes can be read by scanners and can be used to input data into Excel spreadsheets automatically.

There are many barcodes, but the Universal Product Code (UPC) is the most common type. UPCs are 12-digit numbers that are used to uniquely identify products. When you scan a UPC with a it scanner, the device will output the 12-digit number so that it can be entered into Excel.

Why use barcodes in Excel?

Barcodes can be a great time-saving tool if you work with Excel regularly. For example, if you manage inventory in Excel, you can use barcodes to quickly add or remove items from your spreadsheet. Barcodes can also be used to input data into Excel automatically. This can be helpful if you receive a lot of data in paper form and need to convert it into an Excel spreadsheet.
