I have one column of data with MAC addresses XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX that I would like to convert to computer names in another column.

The computer name should be sXXXXXXXXXXXX.

How can I drop the ":" from each MAC address and add an "s" at the beginning of the MAC address in another column?

Is this possible?
 
Hi rmiley,

If your MAC address is in A1, then use ="s"&SUBSTITUTE(A1,":","") in cell B1 (or wherever you want it)

Enjoy,
Tony
