The imported MAC address are set up as xxx:xxx:xxx:xxx and the VLOOKUP on the other sheet is simply xxxxxxxxxxxx.
How can i remove the colons from the cells in that field.
 

Excel Facts

Wildcard in VLOOKUP
Use =VLOOKUP("Apple*" to find apple, Apple, or applesauce
With a formula?

=SUBSTITUTE(A1, ":", "")

Is there any way to make the results a hard number instead of a formula cell. Can be in a different cell.
The sheet these MACs are imported to is a scratch sheet that I use to manipulate the imported data. Then I move it to the reference sheet which is used to store info for the permanent sheet (VLOOKUP)

Not quite sure what you mean.

Can't you just copy and paste special values?

Yes I can. Thank you, I shouldn't be doing this today.
