As an alternative, consider the:
IDAutomation Code 128 Fonts with VBA:
support.idautomation.com/Barcode-Fonts/How-to-download-and-import-the-IDAutomation-VBA-for-Excel/_1221

or the

Barcode Generator for Excel:
idautomation.com/barcode-components/excel-native-generator

To encode the horizontal tab (HT):
1. Set ApplyTilde to 1
2. Encode the tab using ~009

Example using the fonts with VBA:
=Code128("~009",0,1)

Example using the Barcode Generator for Excel:
=IDAutomation_NXLS_C128("~009")
*ApplyTilde is automatically set to True in the Barcode Generator
