Creating Barcode

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I wanted to kindly ask whether PowerBI can interpret a string to a barcode.

For example, if I have a string ABC12345Z, is there an option to create a barcode based on this string (either as a native feature or some kind of coupling with a third-party tool)?

With thanks and kind regards,

Bogdan

Check out Violin Plot in the 3rd party visuals. It is the only visual I see that mentions barcode.

Hello, @Greg_Deckler 

Thank you for the fast reply.

Although interesting as an alternative, it seems that this cannot support the various barcode encodings.

With thanks and kind regards,

Bogdan

Hello, @amitchandak 

Thank you for the fast reply.

After browsing through your proposals, it seems that what's possible is the other way around - to decipher a barcode (but not to compose one).

With thanks and kind regards,

Bogdan
