I have a book report. One spreadsheet I maintain the product ID. Sometimes I need to pull this information for a specific order for a product ID and also the book description. Sometimes the customer would order one book and another customer would order 2 books or more. I have the colon ":" as the delimiter for the multiple book orders. Can this be done? I need the results to be in one cell, so I imagine you would have to use textjoin.
