MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / July 2007Cell Formated for MAC address
Hi, Is there a way to format a cell to display twelve alphanumeric characters to look like a MAC address? For example, if the cell contents are: 0003FF411153 I want it to display like this: 00-03-FF-41-11-53 If a MAC address were all numeric's, the following would work:: ##"-"##"-"##"-"##"-"##"-"## But because MAC addresses have characters A-F, this won't work for me. I tired using: @-@-@-@-@-@ but that didn't work either. Any thoughts? Thanks! --- Bob Maybe you can use a helper column and a formula to format it pretty. Format column A (say) as Text and then: =left(a1,2)&"-"&mid(a1,3,2)&"-"&mid(a1,5,2)&"-"& ..... > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > --- > Bob  SignatureDave Peterson That works! I never would have thought of it. Thanks Dave! --- Bob
