Barcodes In Table

Good morning,

I have been looking for a solution to convert text within a table to a barcode.   Everything I have found functions in a version of Qlik that is obsolete.  I simply need the text in a single column of a table to be converted into a barcode with in Qlik so that the data can be exported into a PDF and scanned.  Is this currently possible to do within the system or does the data need to be exported and converted?

Hi @ahuntwork !

            It is possible to show a barcode on a table cell. But when you export to pdf you lose the formatation.

There's an app file attached that has an example of what you need.

@Patric_Nordstrom 

custom theme methods works surprisingly easily. 😊

could you suggest how to apply the css only on a specific column ? now all the measures (or dimensions) get the css barcode formatting. 

(i think i saw you making a suggestion to limit this to a specific table by referring to it's id in another post; is this possible for a column?) 

can a column be referred to by id/name/something else?
