How To Calculate Check Digit (MOD 10)

[ctsuhako]

How do I create a formula that will calculate a check digit for a 9-digit number using MOD 10? The weighting is 212121212. The problem I am having is that if the sum of the product is in double digits, they must be treated as individual digits.
Example:

Number To Be Calculated: 0 0 4 4 5 5 5 2 5

Weighting: 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2

Sum: 0+0+8+4+1+0+5+1+0+2+1+0

22/10 = 2 r2
10-2 = 8 (Check Digit)

Is it possible to create such a formula? I need to calculate several hundred and do not want to do this manually! Thanks for any suggestions!

noodle, noodle...

never did bother to check whether this does what it's meant to, but, using morefunc, a construction not massively dissimilar to the following could be used to do a mod10 for arbitrary length strings:

=MOD(10-MOD(SUM((MID(A1,IF(MOD(LEN(A1),2)<>0,1,0)+INTVECTOR(ROUNDDOWN(LEN(A1)/2,0),1,,2),1)+0)*2),10),10)

...array entered.

Okay, one last post for anyone remotely interested. In response to PaddyD's MOREFUNC general case formula, the following "out-of-the box" Excel formula will handle any number from 1 to 15 digits in length, or string representation of a number from 1 to 15 digits or more:

=MOD(10-SUMPRODUCT(CEILING(MOD(MID(A1,ROW(INDEX(A:A,1):INDEX(A:A,LEN(A1))),1)*(1+MOD(ROW(INDEX(A:A,1):INDEX(A:A,LEN(A1))),2)),9.5),1)),10)

For those less "squeamish", a shorter CSE (array) formula that also uses the INDIRECT() function is:

=MOD(10-SUM(CEILING(MOD(MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1))),1)*(1+MOD(ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1))),2)),9.5),1)),10)

Both formulas use this progression of multiplication on successive digits:

2, 2-1, 2-1-2, 2-1-2-1, 2-1-2-1-2, etc.

Note to PaddyD: I couldn't get this formula--
=MOD(10-MOD(SUM((MID(A1,IF(MOD(LEN(A1),2)<>0,1,0)+INTVECTOR(ROUNDDOWN(LEN(A1)/2,0),1,,2),1)+0)*2),10),10)
to work beyond the first example posted below.

THanks for tte heads up, Tom. Like I said, I neveer did test it - now I know I need to. Will get round to it eventaully, no doubt.

I have searched but fail to find anything. I am trying to make a mod 10 check digit layout that can calculate the check digit for 1,2,1,2,1..., 2,1,2,1,2,1.....,
1,3,7,1,3,7...., 7,3,1,7,3,1..., up to lets say 60 digits? Is this even possible for excel?

2 Examples:

Substitute P=7

P 0 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0
7 0 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0
7 3 1 7 3 1 7 3 1 7 3 1 7 3 1 7 3 1 <----- Weight 7,3,1
49 0 0 0 3 2 21 12 5 7 0 0 7 3 0 0 0 0 <---- Product
13 0 0 0 3 2 3 3 5 7 0 0 7 3 0 0 0 0 <----- it drops the 1 on 13
3 0 0 0 3 2 3 3 5 7 0 0 7 3 0 0 0 0
40-36= 4 Check Digit

---------------------------------------------------------------------
P 0 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0
7 0 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0
1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 <----- Weight 1,2
7 0 0 0 1 4 3 8 5 2 0 0 1 2 0 0 0 0 <---- Product
40-33= 7 Check Digit


<table x:str="" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 182px; height: 19px;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr style="height: 12.75pt;" height="17"><td class="xl22" style="height: 12.75pt; width: 208pt;" height="17" width="277">
</td> </tr></tbody></table>This formula comes up with a check digit of 6 when it should be 7

=MOD(10-SUMPRODUCT(CEILING(MOD(MID(A6,ROW(INDEX(A:A,1):INDEX(A:A,LEN(A6))),1)*(1+MOD(ROW(INDEX(A:A,1):INDEX(A:A,LEN(A6))),2)),9.5),1)),10)

How would I modify this formula for 1,3,7 weight.

Hello Jim, welcome to MrExcel

What are the rules for getting the digits? When you have 7*7=49 you add the digits to get 13 then drop the 1, I assume you always drop 1, does that apply for both 1,2,1,2,1,2 sequences and 7,3,1,7,3,1? For example if you have 2*7=14 do you add the digits to get 5 or just drop the 1 for 4?

for 1,2,1,2,1,2,1 pattern then the former would be

=MOD(SUMPRODUCT(-MID(TEXT(MID(A6,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A6))),1)*(MOD(ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A6)))+1,2)+1),"00"),{1,2},1)),10)

and the latter.....

=MOD(SUMPRODUCT(-MOD(MID(A6,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A6))),1)*(MOD(ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A6)))+1,2)+1),10)),10)

assumes that the "P" has already been replaced so A6 contains digits only.

here is what i did, i placed the first 11 numbers in col a1 and in b1 i wrote =A1&RIGHT(10-MOD((MID(A1,1,1)+MID(A1,3,1)+MID(A1,5,1)+MID(A1,7,1)+MID(A1,9,1)+MID(A1,11,1))*3+MID(A1,2,1)+MID(A1,4,1)+MID(A1,6,1)+MID(A1,8,1)+MID(A1,10,1),10),1)

works wonderfull

"It is hard coded for a length of 9" -- can this be altered for a length of 15 ?
more like Luhn calculation for card number generation.

 

[andikadwi]

what about 18 strings? for example 936001103001946142

I use the formula =MOD(19-(SUMPRODUCT(--MID(A2;{1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10;11;12;13;14;15;16; 17;18};1)*({2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1;2;1}))-18 *SUMPRODUCT(--(MID(A2;{1;3;5;7;9;11;13;15;17};1)*1>4)));19)

but it doesn't work, the check digit I get is 3, but the result should be 8.

Is there an error in the formula I used?

@andikadwi, welcome to the Forum!

Rather than adding to a 20-year old thread, you would have been better off starting a new thread. You will get more help on a new thread that hasn't received any answers yet .

Is there an error in the formula I used?

I suspect it's more a case of you having a different question, and using the wrong formula.

How about you start by letting us know:

- how you want the check digit to be calculated for your 18 digits?
- why 8 is the correct answer?
- whether this is a particular barcode or other standard for calculating check digits?
