Hi there,
I've been asked to revamp the barcode system at work on Google sheets, porting it over from an old Excel document. I understand not all formulae carry over smoothly, and it appears the GTIN-14 that is generated with a formula for our Inner and Outer carton packaging doesn't like the transition.
As an example, a GTIN-13 we have for a retail product is 9350466000009. For the inner carton that those products are packed in, the new barcode has to add a 1 to the beginning.
In the original Excel document, the formula is as follows: =CONCAT("1",(LEFT(F4,LEN(F4)-1)),(MOD(-SUM(MID(CONCAT("1",(LEFT(F4,LEN(F4)-1)))&0,{1,3,5,7,9,11,13;2,4,6,8,10,12,14},1)*{3;1}),10)))
What results is the string: 19350466000006
Bringing the formula over to Google Sheets, I've at least worked out that I need to change CONCAT to CONCATENATE and that at least outputs a 14 digit string, however the new number 19350466000007 doesn't match what was outputted on excel.
I'm hoping this is just a syntax issue, so if someone could please help me rewrite this formula in a way that Google Sheets appreciates, that would be greatly appreciated!
TL;DR: Need to rewrite an excel formula to work for Google sheets. Old excel formula: =CONCAT("1",(LEFT(F4,LEN(F4)-1)),(MOD(-SUM(MID(CONCAT("1",(LEFT(F4,LEN(F4)-1)))&0,{1,3,5,7,9,11,13;2,4,6,8,10,12,14},1)*{3;1}),10))) where F4 is where the data is being referenced from.
