Subnet calculator for MS Excel

Question

I quite often use the handy subnet calculator here:

Which I find very useful. However, does anyone have details/a link for a version of this that offers similar functionality but is in an excel spreadsheet.

I could then include it in a worksheet and I wouldn't have to keep visiting the website. Also handy if I don't have internet access - which can often be the case when I need it.

I opened this question expecting to comment "just do it in your head" but you beat me to it! — Chopper3, Oct 06 '10 at 19:47

The following function (that calls Marcus Mansfield's IPSubnetCalc) will output a network range when given a subnet:

    Public Function IPRange(IPandMaskInput$)

    ' PROGRAM:
    ' IP Range Calculator by Tomas Pospisek that uses Marcus Mansfield's IPSubnetCalc
    '
    ' INPUTS:
    ' Input Expected xx.xx.xx.xx/yy
    ' Where xx = decimal IPv4 Octet
    '       yy = BitMask Value ( 0 - 32 ex.31 )
    '
    ' OUTPUT:
    ' IP Range in the form: "aa.aa.aa.aa - bb.bb.bb.bb"

        Range_From = IPSubnetCalc(4, IPandMaskInput)
        Range_To = IPSubnetCalc(5, IPandMaskInput)

        IPRange = Range_From & " - " & Range_To
    End Function

I've added a new option to calculate the number of available hosts in a network.

Hope it helps.

I know its an old thread but...

This is a VBA Function for Excel. I'm going to assume you know how to add a VBA Function ( Or Macro etc ), If not I'll hope someone will reply to this thread with a simple How To.

Its very basic, but it does exactly what is says on the tin and works for me.

Input is =IPSubnetCalc(X, YY.YY.YY.YY/ZZ )

X = 1 to 5 - See below for what each option does. Y = IPv4 Address Z = 8 to 32, Excl 31. ( BitMask )

Obviously, the X, Y/Z can be cell references.

Enjoy

Did you specifically want a spreadsheet to calculate subnets? There are plenty of standalone tools to do this. Here for example

Was the bit where he said "but is in an excel spreadsheet" not clear enough? :P – Izzy Sep 29 '09 at 15:27
a standalone tool is an option, but I record all my network stuff in a spreadsheet and want to have everything to hand in one place. (whether I should be using a spreadsheet is another question - but it works). – Martin Sep 29 '09 at 17:29

The above tool can *export* a spreadsheet. – JS. Sep 29 '09 at 17:57
