Hello everybody!

I am using a barcode scanner and its work very well. But the issue is the scanner is so fast and it scan not desired barcode.

I just want to scan when the barcode has 11 digits and ignore when it has less or more digits.

Do you know how i could do that ?

Thanks, and have a good day!

Hi @Anonymous ,

Do you want to return the Barcode Scanner result only when the barcode is 11 digits long?

If you do, I’m afraid there is no way to achieve you need. But I'm wondering if you actually want the scanner to work on a specific barcode type? You could use the BarcodeType property of Barcode Scanner to decide which type it could recognize. Please refer to below doc to see the types supported in PowerApps:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/controls/control-new-barcode-scanner#barcode-availability-by-device

If you don't mean to set the scanner work for a specific barcode type, as a workaround, you could use an If statement with Len() function to decide whether or not to use the scanned value.

If you would like this feature to be added into PowerApps, you may suggest an idea in the idea forum:

Hope this helps.
