I am going with the bulky approach. God, your code is so compact.

I will do:
Dim temp
temp = Slip(ActiveCell.FormulaC1R1, ".")
ActiveCell.FormulaC1R1 = temp(0)


This simply set the formula to anything that's before the "."

Set WB = Workbooks("MasterList.xls")

For Each rCell In rng.Cells

If Not IsEmpty(.Value) Then
.Replace What:=".", Replacement:=""
