    As the prefix says, I'm a n00b.

    But I'm OK with excel, and I am aware that you can create QR codes in Execl, but don't really know how.

    Anyway..

    Just say I have a list of contacts in Excel

    Firstname Surname Address1 Address2 Etc.

    Jimmy O'Flaherty Dublin Road Ballybog Cork

    How can I put that line of details into a QR code?

    The ultimate goal is to have somebody's contact details on a sheet of paper, with a QR code.

    I scan the QR code, and the data is automatically filled in to a proprietary database.

    But I want to start with the easiest part first - simply creating a QR code for contact details.

    Any tips?

    Thanks a bunch. If I get a bonus in work for this I will give you 25%*








    *I probably won't get a bonus.

    A quick google of "Excel QR Code" gave this...

    There's no strokescribe option in my excel. Do you have it?

    Also it doesn't describe how to add the Headers & Info into the QR code.

    Okay, it's an external plugin you need to install.
