QR Code showing #Unknown error when printing | Excel Online

Question

I am generating QR codes, but once I try to print them i get this "#UNKOWN" Error. I used this previously on a daily basis. Now it does not work any more with Excel in the browser

Answer 1

Hi,

How did you create the QR code?

As far as I know the QR code is generated by the Control in Excel. It seems the Excel online not support the control.

Is it possible to enter the QR code picture as a workaround?

I am using this api from google with the image function. It used to work up until about last week. Now it only prints when I open the 365 excel app and not online anymore.

I do not want to create pictures and insert into each cell manually. I create bulk qr codes.
