Google Sheets - Search, QUERY function

[@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.

[@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.

[@lauracru]

Your help has been invaluable. Thank you

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

Thank You!

[@malikastar9265]

Your method of teaching makes everything look easy, you're my most important resource of learning google sheets, thank you so much !

[@arnellcarmichael635]

Absolutely brilliant tutorial my guy! Very easy to follow, and educational! Thanks for putting this video together, and it definitely helped me save time searching data within my CRM! Best - Arnell

[@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 ;)

[@angrybobr365]

At the beginning of the video, I was looking at it and thinking: "Oh...boring, every newbie knows that"... but later, close to the end... the only words in my head were: "What a tricky mo***fu***, u got me!" Big thanx for that tutorial.

[@andresleon8076]

THANKS! I've been through many of your videos looking for something like this.. Really Helpful

[@amoeudaemonic]

Thank you for the tutorial! Easy to follow, but I also learned some functions of formulas as well! We created a searchable database of flavors and nicotine strengths for our vape store with this. You've given my workers a nice cheat sheet for sure! Thanks again! 🙂

[@pramodnair7697]

VERY VERY USEFUL VIDEO, THANKS

[@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(...), "")

[@ВикторКурильчик-х2ю]

Thanks for clear explanation. You are wonderful tutor.

[@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

This is spectacular, simply Amazing!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!! Greetings from Colombia friend

[@shammetje]

this helped me find the solution in the first few seconds of the video. thanks

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

Excellent!

[@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

[@natew]

Thank you for all your hard work generating this great content!

[@bobykumar3960]

again.... you are "THE" SOLUTION....

[@HarrisonBennett]

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks man

[@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

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

[@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?

[@Allen-L-Canada]

Great! In a drop-down can you allow multiple selections instead of only one?

[@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.

[@carlosharper5046]

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

[@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 ?

[@shadabchaudhary5632]

Good job 👍

[@kulvinder8211]

Sir U are great person

[@annekristelmangarin3196]

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

[@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.

[@rachitm109]

Love it! Thanks bro! This is so good!

[@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??

[@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?

[@CloudPower]

Excellent ! Very useful.

[@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.

[@brandonkenney5432]

How would I be able to display results if my search contains quotations? Eg. _____ I want to search for: 3" Screws ______ Result: # VALUE I followed your instruction at 3:54 and it worked for all my searches containing an apostrophe (eg. 9' Pipe), however it will not work with quotations...is there a solution?

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

Doubling quotes usually escapes them, So I would try to to wrap the reference in SUBSTITUTE(A1,"""","""""") and see if that works.

[@mrkfong]

Thanks bro, big help!

[@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 :)

[@anurajms]

thanks for the video .really appreciate your help

[@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. 🤔

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

Hello there. I have a long log of footage in spreadsheets. The scene descriptions are in cells that contain a significant amount of text and when I search for a word, I am always shown the whole cell, but not the word itself, which in my case is a bit of a problem. Is there a way to get a search result that is more detailed than just the cell where the particular text string is? This would be very helpful, thanks!

[@MrTATT-he5bm]

Good stuff! thank you so much :)

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?

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

[@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 !!

[@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?

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

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?

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

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

No, not formula results.

[@HopOnsWelcome]

Is there a way to make a search box that filters as you type? So you don’t have to click out of the cell to see the result. I saw a video that Excel could do that.

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

You can only do it if you use some sort of web interface, like in this example kzbin.info/aero/PLv9Pf9aNgemvM36efLpaHxbkZTGp2pfhx
