I have a string of data in one cell:
"Membership and Volunteer Crew – do you like getting to know lots of new people? | Sauna Crew – Spend time sweating and supervising our sauna activity. | Crafters Crew – find and invite and present regional Crafts People at R&S and help them present workshops to our audience."
I need it to become:
"Membership and Volunteer Crew ::: Sauna Crew ::: Crafters Crew"
in another cell on another sheet.
Trying to figure out how best to say please replace everything between '-' and '|' with ":::"
I am trying to create a Google Contact Group import friendly list.
