Drivers License PDF417 Barcode Data Extraction 02-06-2020 17:41 PM - last edited 02-07-2020 09:03 AM

     This app shows you how to extract data from a drivers license barcode. There is an incredible amount of data in every drivers license; being able to collect it has many purposes. From HR on-boarding to event registration and check in, the possibilities are nearly endless.

     There isn't a lot to this app. Each value has it's own Match() function to build the data collection. In the example below you can see that the abbreviation "DAA" matches the "Full Name" value, so I use a regular expression to find that value and add it to the collection.

{Value: First(Match(LicenseData,"\n" & "DAA" & "(.+)\n",MatchOptions.Contains).SubMatches), Description: "Full Name" },

Special thanks to this post that had the abbreviations for all the data explained.

Download the app, scan your license (or the sample license barcode attached) and let me know some use cases you can think of!

Thank you!

@Anonymous Great stuff here! Not sure how rough it was to develop this, going back and forth from phone to computer and all that, but I appreciate that you did! I'm implementing this to help with data entry on new hires. Basically makes it a scan and a few more clicks to get them in our system!

Thanks for sharing your awesome work!

@wyotim Good to hear! 😁

@EricLott  that was just what I needed, and thanks SO much for sharing the app.  Saved me all that legwork, really appricate the great work!

I couldn't figure out how to import the files. I stuck them in a zip file but it didn't work.

@Anonymous @I tried to click the link to view the app you created for the license scanned but I was not able to view it after downloading it. Is there a link you can share with me so that I can view the app in power apps? I’m working to try to create a license scanner in power apps currently and think it would be beneficial to see how you utilized the Match function to add the data to your collection/sharepoint lists. Thanks!

@wyotim it sounds like you may have been successful at creating a power app for your new hires - great news! Were you able to use the match functions listed in this thread to store the data in your collection. I’m currently working to try to figure out how to store the data into a sharepoint list columns after it is scanned and want to figure out how to use the match function to auto-fill fields in the app after scanned. Any suggestions?

You'll need to download the .msapp and import it into your environment. You can then open or edit it.

The example Match() function included here is part of a big ugly formula that looks like this

Set(LicenseData,LicenseScanner.Value);
ClearCollect(driverLicenseFields,Table(
