So here is my issue, I am running a spreadsheet for my company that generates a barcode based on the company ID imputed in a cell. I downloaded a font to change the cell into a barcode. Example =code39(E8) The issue is that once I send this document to be used by other people within organization they are unable to see the barcode. It shows up as Example: *1000001*.

Question: How can I lock the barcode in place so that everyone who receives it has a barcode in that cell? Additionally, it would be nice if this would also work on a tablet.

Thank you,
Chris
