    Post Scan multiple barcodes into a single Excel cell, each on a separate line

    A library has an Excel sheet that's used as a packing list for books to be loaned to other libraries. Each row represents a single box being packed. The cells of that row have info such as Recipient, Shipment number, Box number, etc.

    In one of the columns they'd like to scan the barcoded "Acquisition Number" of each of the several books that will go in that box, such that each scanned number will appear on a new line in that cell.

    But when they scan a barcode, Excel moves to the next row, since the scanner is programmed to terminate the scanned data with ENTER.

    But after this sub is running, any attempt to clear/delete the cell will fail because off the logic run in the code, so another code is needed to do this.

    You then can call this sub to clear the cell in affected column C.
