Introduction to Batch Generating QR Codes in Excel with WPS
Generating QR codes in Excel can be a time-consuming task if done one by one. However, with WPS, a powerful office suite, you can easily batch generate QR codes for a list of data. This article will guide you through the process step by step.
Prerequisites
Before you start, ensure you have the following:
1. WPS Office installed on your computer.
2. A list of data that you want to convert into QR codes. This could be a list of URLs, text, or any other information.
3. An internet connection to access the QR code generation service.
Creating a QR Code Template
1. Open a new Excel workbook in WPS.
2. Enter the data you want to convert into QR codes in the first column. For example, if you have a list of URLs, enter them in column A.
3. In the second column (B), you will generate the QR codes. Select cell B1 and enter the following formula:
```
=IFERROR(QRCODE(A1, L), )
```
This formula uses the QRCODE function to generate a QR code for the URL in cell A1. The L parameter specifies the error correction level.
Expanding the QR Code Generation
1. Drag the corner of cell B1 down to fill the formula for the entire column. This will generate QR codes for all the URLs in your list.
2. If you have a large list, you might want to adjust the size of the QR codes. To do this, select the QR codes, right-click, and choose Format Cells. In the Size section, adjust the width and height to your preference.
Customizing QR Code Properties
1. If you want to customize the QR code properties further, such as adding a logo or changing the color, you will need to use a third-party QR code generator service.
2. Copy the URLs from your Excel sheet and paste them into the QR code generator's input field.
3. Customize the QR code as needed and download the generated image.
4. Replace the QR code images in your Excel sheet with the customized ones.
Exporting the QR Codes
1. Once you are satisfied with the QR codes in your Excel sheet, you can export them for use.
2. Select the entire range of cells containing the QR codes.
3. Go to the File menu and choose Save As.\
4. In the Save As dialog box, select a location to save your file and choose the desired file format, such as PNG or JPEG.
5. Click Save to export the QR codes.
Printing QR Codes
1. If you need to print the QR codes, select the range of cells containing the QR codes.
2. Go to the File menu and choose Print.\
3. In the Print dialog box, select the printer and adjust the print settings as needed.
4. Click Print to print the QR codes on your selected printer.
