convert data into barcode

BAKERSMAN

I am trying to convert data from specific cells into a barcode. I have the
correct barcode font loaded but cannot seem to get a couple of the cells to
give me the correct data. For instance, one of the cells is a date. When I
try to add this cell to the formula, instead of the date I see 239918. I also
have a cell that has to be 2 characters. When I try to add this cell to the
formula, it will only return 1 character unless the number is a bove 9. I
have the cell formatted where it shows to characters (ex. 02) but always
returns only one character(ex. 2). Here is the formula I am using.

="*"&F7&R7&B15&R23&R15&"*"

B15 is the cell that should be two characters and R23 is the cell that is
the date.

Use the TEXT function to format the values. Change the date format to suit
your requirement

="*"&F7&R7&TEXT(B15,"00")&TEXT(R23,"mm-dd-yyyy")&R15&"*"
