Re: EAN-13 barcode generator
I am new to airtable and I am using airtable as our Products database, and when we make a new product it needs to get a EAN-13 barcode. We get the first 9 numbers from the government, then we add the next 3 and the last one is calculated.
Field 1 = 9 first diget
Field 2 = auto number
Field 3 = adding “0” so the cell has 3 number in it
Field 4 = Field 1 & Field 3
Field 5 = calculated last number
Field 6 = Field 4 & Field 5
The formula is:
CEILING((VALUE(MID({EAN+rad},1,1))*1)+(VALUE(MID({EAN+rad},2,1))*3)+(VALUE(MID({EAN+rad},3,1))*1)+(VALUE(MID({EAN+rad},4,1))*3)+(VALUE(MID({EAN+rad},5,1))*1)+(VALUE(MID({EAN+rad},6,1))*3)+(VALUE(MID({EAN+rad},7,1))*1)+(VALUE(MID({EAN+rad},8,1))*3)+(VALUE(MID({EAN+rad},9,1))*1)+(VALUE(MID({EAN+rad},10,1))*3)+(VALUE(MID({EAN+rad},11,1))*1)+(VALUE(MID({EAN+rad},12,1))*3),10)-((VALUE(MID({EAN+rad},1,1))*1)+(VALUE(MID({EAN+rad},2,1))*3)+(VALUE(MID({EAN+rad},3,1))*1)+(VALUE(MID({EAN+rad},4,1))*3)+(VALUE(MID({EAN+rad},5,1))*1)+(VALUE(MID({EAN+rad},6,1))*3)+(VALUE(MID({EAN+rad},7,1))*1)+(VALUE(MID({EAN+rad},8,1))*3)+(VALUE(MID({EAN+rad},9,1))*1)+(VALUE(MID({EAN+rad},10,1))*3)+(VALUE(MID({EAN+rad},11,1))*1)+(VALUE(MID({EAN+rad},12,1))*3))
This formula works for this but dose any one know if there is a easier way to do this.
What is the formula for the calculated number supposed to be doing? I think you could at least condense a few of these fields like this:
9 Digit Number (single line text)
0123345678
Autonumber (autonumber)
1
Calculated Number (formula)
4
EAN-13 (formula - see below)
01234567890014
{9 Digit Number} & REPT("0", 3 - LEN({Autonumber} & "")) & {Autonumber} & {Calculated Number}
