Thumbs up Answer: IP address to Hostname in Excel

Converting IP Addresses to Hostnames in Excel

1. Install the "Resolve IP Addresses to Hostnames" add-in for Excel from the Microsoft website.

2. Select the column containing the IP addresses.

3. Go to the "Data" tab in the Excel ribbon and click on "Resolve IP Addresses to Hostnames" in the "Get External Data" section.

4. In the "Resolve IP Addresses to Hostnames" dialog box, select the column containing the IP addresses and click "OK".

5. Excel will then convert the IP addresses to hostnames and display them in a new column.

Alternatively, you can use a formula to convert IP addresses to hostnames. Here's an example:

1. In a new column, enter the following formula:
Formula:
=NLOOKUP(A2,"http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ipall.ch?domain="
2. Replace "A2" with the cell containing the IP address you want to convert.

3. Press Enter and Excel will convert the IP address to a hostname.

Remember to download and install the add-in before attempting to convert IP addresses to hostnames in Excel.
