To help prevent macros that contain viruses from contaminating your system, by default Office for Mac displays a warning message whenever you try to open a document that contains a macro. This message appears regardless of whether the macro actually contains a virus. Format mac addresses in cells by adding colon with VBA. With below VBA code, you can format a range of numbers as mac addresses at once in Excel. Please do as follows. Press the Alt + F11 keys simultaneously to open the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window. In the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window, click Insert.
