    Format Cells For Mac Address

    Title kind of explains the question. I'm trying to format a column of cells for the input of Mac Addresses so I don't have to put in the : after each set of numbers/letters i.e. 12:34:5B:6D:78:9F.

    Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated, and if this solution is very simple I do apologize

    I've tried 00":"00":"00":"00":"00":"00 and ??":"??":"??":"??":"??":"?? and also with ##'s which work fantastic for numeric addresses, but fails to put in the : : : : when you add in the alphanumeric portion of the address
