Generate barcode in excel free. Then change the font to 3 of 9(it looks like a barcode in the font selection list). IDAutomation's barcode fonts provide an easy method of barcoding an entire Excel column. Code 39 barcodes are created in an Excel spreadsheet in this example, with the IDAutomationC39 font that is included in the Code 39 Barcode Font Package. Codabar fonts may also be used to create smaller numeric-only barcodes.

Well, in Excel there is no default option to generate a barcode.

And, the bad news is:

There is no plan of Microsoft to add any option like this.

Code 39 is known as Code 3 of 9 which is the most used barcode and able to scan by every barcode scanner.

In this code, every single character has 5 bars and 4 spaces in total 9 characters. Out of total 9 characters, 3 characters are always wide.
