 If we place a special formula in excel we can have excel clean up barcodes that are 11 characters in length. This particular routine adds a 0 in the front of 10 character barcodes and then calculates the check digit. This was a specific case scenario as it accounts for the most common scenario we run into which is excel removed a leading 0. If the supplier of the barcodes did not provide the correct 11 or 12 digit barcode you must get the correct barcode before continuing.  If we place a special formula in excel we can have excel clean up barcodes that are 11 characters in length.

 +REQUIREMENT: The barcode must be in column A, and you must know how to place the formula into excel and fill down. (Note: start at row 2, and I suggest placing the formula in column B.
