[@ParthaDas-wy6ps]

I've been doing this search problem for two days now, and finally, after watching your video, I found a solution to my problem.Thank You Sir.

[@lauracru]

Your help has been invaluable. Thank you

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

Thank You!

[@uncertainAuthor]

This was exactly what I was looking for to try and put a search function into a spreadsheet I've been working on! Thank you so much for sharing this easy to follow and informative tutorial ♥

[@dfilliernl]

Fantastic tutorial ... you just saved me and my team a ~huge~ amount of time and effort. Thanks for taking the time to produce and share this tutorial.

[@Azzz01s]

Love it how implanted the split them join to create such a loop! Amazing idea, more to it I've adjusted the AND to OR too show all data in single words, thanks a lot, gonna be watching more and more of your vids to learm more too, never thought SQL could be such fun and amazing language and excitingly challenging to use to help me out big time with my needs 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Azzz01s]

@Ömer Faruk Akkaya @21:12 see the AND after JOIN! ... change the AND to be OR, so by this the query will turn the results to anything that contains any of the words/letters you put in your search criteria. if you put DRESS BABY it will show you any results containing ANY of these two words and not necessarily containing both, hope it cleared for you ;)

[@CloudPower]

Excellent ! Very useful.

[@jerikhodejesus8570]

thank you so much for sharing. I just want to ask to you if what is your advise to control the simultaneous flashing of result from the query using the QUERY ONE function when the google sheet users had type their own searching data in the search box at the same time? Thank you very much

[@chhansambath5244]

hi! in this case we can make the same cell to search in more in column A,B ,c...? ( 1 single cell can search by name, phone number or date)

[@stylelife7705]

helpful content thank you !

[@francisabellana780]

Thank you so much!

[@mani2care]

Really nice for me to get it resolved my issue but same thing how can i do it for multiple sheet to fetch the same result

[@tahanawfal]

to make it search for multi columns: _=QUERY(data,"SELECT * WHERE D LIKE ""%"&B2&"%"" AND (C LIKE ""%"&B3&"%"" OR B LIKE ""%"&B3&"%"") ",1)_ notice that AND & OR are logic gates and you should change between them if there is no result

[@annekristelmangarin3196]

Can I do the search on the whole array instead of just one column?

[@benponderin]

You're awesome, my friend

[@chhenglykandal3768]

Thank You Sir from Cambodia and this help me a lot. would u mind create Query related to Bar Chart report or Graph Analysis in the next video? Thank You.

[@edmarcabilingdolar9978]

Hey there, can i ask question? About your video? Is it possible that if i can and search function on specific sheet it can able to update the data also ?

[@jonayego]

Wow, this is great. A million thanks. Please, supposing you want to generate a cost for two different items, how do you go about??

[@Juan_Albor_Cardenas]

Great video helped alot with me searching but I have a question how can I do this search to entire workbook or multiple worksheets? Can you please help?

[@monicamusial4665]

This is a great tool and you explained it very well! Thank you!! I just have a question. Is there a way for the search results to be blank when the search drop-down is empty?

[@BlueStarsConsulting]

Yeah. I have the same question. How can you have all the options show when the field is blank?

[@mansaha9288]

Thanks for the apostrophes info

[@abhinavm8871]

Really thank you Buddy

[@The066773]

awesome..

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

Thanks 😊

[@DavidMarcadet]

Very usefull, thx

[@duzshootingrange]

There's anyway to make the results of the search to carry the text formatting used in the data? Awesome tutorial.

[@indyshome]

Thank you so much

[@carlosharper5046]

What would the query be to search multiple tabs/sheets?

[@TheArctomian]

How did you add the keymoments like that in the description?

[@ricseeds4835]

Genius!

[@lazalazarevic6192]

The last part was so good! Thanks, man. Is it possible to make it more dynamic? Like selecting the column we wanna search?

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

Sure. Just make a VLOOKUP with a helper table that maps the column selection to column letter and use it in your select statement. Or at least that's one way :)

[@aakritimoda4402]

Your video is excellent but can you please share the sample file too so that it gets easier to along ?

[@judeodele6450]

=QUERY(data,"SELECT * WHERE 1=1 “&”AND LOWER(E)LIKE LOWER(“”%” &JOIN(“%””) AND LOWER(E)LIKE LOWER(“”%”, SPLIT(B1,””))&”%“”)”,1)

[@deafmultilingual8527]

how do you also pull through the hyperlink in the data sheet as well? So say your skirts has a hyperlink to open up a video and you need this hyperlink brought through so that you could click skirt and watch the video?

[@user-zp2if5yb5o]

Hello, this was very helpful but I was wondering how to do something. Is there a way to search for things in multiple columns at once?

[@PencilBoxID]

Thank for the tutorial

[@pinnibyp3950]

Thank you so much!!! you help us to work much easier ! May I ask if query function can also import both value and format? seem like it only import value not include format of that cell.

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

It only imports the value. You can specify what format you want for the output, but it's not going to pick up the original formatting. Watch my QUERY function series for more details.

[@pinnibyp3950]

@@ExcelGoogleSheets Thank you, I'll check whole series !!

[@prashantkannake1319]

Thank you very much

[@paulsantosestrella6313]

HI at timeline 3:06 how do you make this query formula case insensitive? I type a lowercase but the data source are all caps so it did not show anything. when I type all uppercase, then I will have a result

[@JaredPlane]

In the "Search Contains Words" when there's nothing in the search field it comes up with #VALUE!. How do I get it to display everything like at 9:20?

[@jaimeenriquezvivanco1389]

Wrap JOIN(...) with ISERROR(JOIN(...), "")

[@arkaorarkie]

Thank you so much.

[@eristidwialmubarok]

Thanks for the video, it help me alot. I have a question, if these sheet used by one user it look seem working allright. but, how if there is some users want to use those sheet at the same time? anyone will be interupt by one and another person while working. Do you have any alternative for it? thanks before.

[@jeevankurian204]

Awesome tutorial! Is there any way we can edit the searched results? So that it reflects the original sheet

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

No, not formula results.

[@snowman3130]

Can I hire you for a project?

[@iftaminka2804]

I did this tutorial and it's amazingly help me completed my final task, Thanks! But I've no idea how to create this when I've few different data in multiple sheets, looking for it

[@keerthanab1103]

Very useful class. You taught how to use query function with examples of region and reps. Can we have search option along with regions and sales reps. 🤔

[@natanaelbby]

I love this tutorial, your tutorial is very great 🔥. I just using it to my data and it works, but I just confused and want to ask if i want to using this formula to search a unique code number from my list, is it using a same code? Or there's different code?

[@natanaelbby]

Because when Im using this code for searching number it didn't shown up the data

[@selvarajandiappa3143]

Thanks, very helpful. Following most of your tutoring.. Just want to find out why after search result when you edit any data, all search data disappears and the formula reruns errer

[@varioII]

This is awesome, just started using this. Wondering how to handle B2 being empty - split function doesn't like it. I'm trying to include ALL results in the query if B2 is blank?

[@realitysoul7444]

Is there a way to have the query function, pull from two or even three different columns in seperate search cells? So example I want to search the Location Column (E column), The Job Column (F Column), the Availability Column (G column), and I want each Search (location, Job, Availability) to be in their own separate search cells as drop down lists. So in Cell A5 is drop down search function for Location, in B5 is Drop down Search Function for Job, and C5 is Drop Down Search for Availability. I want to give the searcher several options on how to find the Artists that fits either one or search parameters.

[@marcobanderas3306]

You can try something like this (where A1=1st dropdown and A2=2nd dropdown). QUERY('Raw Data'!A1:E, "select * Where A is not null "&"IF(A1="AllResults",""," AND Lower(A) = Lower('"&A1&"') ")&IF(A2="AllResults",""," AND Lower(B) = Lower('"&A2&"')"),1,)

[@marcobanderas3306]

Found Simpler solution based on AND Statements =QUERY(Your Data Range,"SELECT * WHERE E LIKE ""%"&A1&"%"" AND F LIKE ""%"&A2&"%"" AND G LIKE ""%"&A3&"%""",1). Also, you can supplement those ANDs with ORs so that you don't get blanks/errors.

[@markuswinter-cdps3008]

Greetings. I'm looking to query from a dropdown a data set that does not always exactly match the reference in the dropdown. I've tried CONTAINS, LIKE, wildcards (such as %), and it doesn't work. For example, my data would include "Kites Red", "Kites - Red", "Kites Blue", "Kites - Blue", etc. When the dropdown shows "Kites - Red", the "Kites Red" results do not appear. What query syntax can I use that will result in both "Kites - Red" and "Kites Red" showing as search results? Thanks.

[@katgiardinadms274]

Thank you! Is there a way to lock the search box so that when one person enters a search it does not filter down the data for other users looking at the sheet?

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

No, but you should be able to user FILTER VIEWS to get something similar to what you want.

[@antoniojunior5646]

Thanks Very good

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

Thank you!

[@cheewurz]

Brilliant!

[@brethrencemetery4965]

This was a great explanation. If I wanted to edit one of these records, how would I either edit it here and update the main sheet, or how would I like to that record so I could edit it in the main sheet?

[@ldickens86]

thanks for this great video. Is there a way to make the search check different tabs on the form. I want to search data in column A on multiple tabs rather than just one tab. thank you

[@marcobanderas3306]

Both If and Indirect will do the trick (+ filtering of null values), e.g query(Indirect(*here comes drop-down with sheet names*&"!"Range") or QUERY(INDIRECT(A2&"!A2:D"),"select *",1).

[@misterbowzer]

is it possible to limit the result to only certain column instead?

[@sdp6362]

Will this work even if the person is only a "Viewer" on the sheets?

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

No, they won't be able to type in the cell.

[@kyle4338]

I am using IMPORTHTML but the Query isn't reading the table I pulled in. Is there a workaround?

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

Use FILTER function

[@joesilvaproductions]

Is it Possible to have the search go over multiple inventory tabs?

[@matthewnguyen2606]

Hey brother I loved this video, in the small chance you see this, what if there is typos? It seems to break the query thank you

[@treepor1]

this is a very helpful and useful video but i have more question. Is it possible to do Query with Number bc i tried to do the same as you teach but it doesnt work for me . please help thank you :)
