How do you put in spacer columns or a static NULL column?

[@coupleracademy]

Hi! You can use ' ' (single quotes) for empty columns or NULL for null columns. For example: =QUERY(A:D, "SELECT A, '', B, NULL, C")

For anyone getting error when trying to use QUERY functions, replace the comma separator for the semicolon separator.

[@coupleracademy]

Thanks for the helpful tip! Regional settings can cause issues with separators. Switching from commas to semicolons is a great solution for those experiencing errors in QUERY syntax.

[@foodmastiIndia]

great tutorial. Can this be used in App script to fetch data and show the reports ?

[@coupleracademy]

Thanks for the great feedback! 😊 Yes, you can use the QUERY function in Google Apps Script to fetch data and generate reports. You'll use the SpreadsheetApp service to access your data and then apply the QUERY function to manipulate it. It's super handy for automating tasks and creating dynamic reports. If you need any help getting started, let us know!

to import from a different sheet if I need to select col A:D & column H how will go about it..apart from writing the column name like col1,col2 and so on

[@coupleracademy]

Hi! The simplest way is to probably set as a range an array with all columns you want to fetch and then SELECT *, for example =QUERY({Sheet1!A1:D, Sheet1!H1:H}, "SELECT *")

[@sqgrowthconnect]

This is beautifully done but doesn't work for me and I can't figure out why... when I try to add the curly braces inside the query function, my version of google sheets auto add "ArrayFormula(" syntax to the beginning of the function and therefore ignores the semi-colons that combines data from multiple sheets. Any ideas on how to resolve?

[@coupleracademy]

I haven't encountered such an issue with auto-adding an arrayformula function. However, you could try to specify the ranges first and then add curly braces to the formula. I hope this trick will help you resolve the issue.

Hi, how can I get C + 30 days using sheets query and C is text(not date) with YYYY-MM-DD,HH:MM:SS format?

[@coupleracademy]

Hey there! Great question! 😊 You can add 30 days to a date in text format using a combination of QUERY and DATE functions. Here's how you can do it: 1. Convert the text to a date: =DATEVALUE(LEFT(C1, 10)) + 30 This converts the text date in C1 to a date and adds 30 days. 2. Use this in a QUERY: =QUERY(A:D, "SELECT A, B, C, DATEVALUE(LEFT(C, 10)) + 30 WHERE ...", 1) Replace A:D with your range and adjust the SELECT statement as needed. Let me know if you need more help!

[@RTRT-jr8jv]

@@coupleracademy Thank you for trying to help but DATEVALUE(LEFT(C, 10)) function is not allowed in QUERY

Can we do the column concatenation in query and how

[@coupleracademy]

Hi! Unfortunately QUERY doesn't support concatenation. You may need to use a workaround, maybe this one helps? stackoverflow.com/questions/42571114/how-to-use-concat-in-query

[@mooripo]

This is so correct until I use Label BEFORE the end of the query like so : ( =QUERY(Invoices_Extracted_on_2024.07.21!A1:L,"SELECT Col"&XMATCH("INVOICE_ID",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Date",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Invoice#",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Customer Name",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Invoice Status",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Due Date",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Due Days",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Sub Total",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Invoice Amount",header)&" - Col"&XMATCH("Sub Total",header)&" LABEL Col"&XMATCH("Invoice Amount",header)&" - Col"&XMATCH("Sub Total",header)&" 'Discount', Col"&XMATCH("Invoice Amount",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Balance",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Adjustment",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Created By",header)) ) Although, when I use Label at the END it works correctly like in this function : ( =QUERY(Invoices_Extracted_on_2024.07.21!A1:L,"SELECT Col"&XMATCH("INVOICE_ID",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Date",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Invoice#",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Customer Name",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Invoice Status",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Due Date",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Due Days",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Sub Total",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Invoice Amount",header)&" - Col"&XMATCH("Sub Total",header)&" LABEL Col"&XMATCH("Invoice Amount",header)&" - Col"&XMATCH("Sub Total",header)&" 'Discount'") ) Finishing both calculated column and leaving the labeling to the end doesn't work :/ ( =QUERY(Invoices_Extracted_on_2024.07.21!A1:L,"SELECT Col"&XMATCH("INVOICE_ID",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Date",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Invoice#",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Customer Name",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Invoice Status",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Due Date",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Due Days",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Sub Total",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Invoice Amount",header)&" - Col"&XMATCH("Sub Total",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Invoice Amount",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Balance",header)&" - Col"&XMATCH("Invoice Amount",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Balance",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Adjustment",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Created By",header)&" LABEL Col"&XMATCH("Invoice Amount",header)&" - Col"&XMATCH("Sub Total",header)&" 'Discount' )") ) *WORKING Here* ( =QUERY(Invoices_Extracted_on_2024.07.21!A1:L,"SELECT Col"&XMATCH("INVOICE_ID",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Date",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Invoice#",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Customer Name",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Invoice Status",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Due Date",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Due Days",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Sub Total",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Invoice Amount",header)&" - Col"&XMATCH("Sub Total",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Invoice Amount",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Balance",header)&" - Col"&XMATCH("Invoice Amount",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Balance",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Adjustment",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Created By",header)&" LABEL"&" Col"&XMATCH("Invoice Amount",header)&" - Col"&XMATCH("Sub Total",header)&"'Disciount Amount', Col"&XMATCH("Balance",header)&" - Col"&XMATCH("Invoice Amount",header)&"'Paid sum'") )

[@coupleracademy]

Hi! It looks like there might be a syntax issue when using multiple LABEL statements with calculated columns. Ensure you have proper spacing and syntax. Here’s a corrected example: =QUERY(Invoices_Extracted_on_2024.07.21!A1:L, "SELECT Col"&XMATCH("INVOICE_ID",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Date",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Invoice#",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Customer Name",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Invoice Status",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Due Date",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Due Days",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Sub Total",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Invoice Amount",header)&" - Col"&XMATCH("Sub Total",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Invoice Amount",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Balance",header)&" - Col"&XMATCH("Invoice Amount",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Balance",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Adjustment",header)&", Col"&XMATCH("Created By",header)&" LABEL Col"&XMATCH("Invoice Amount",header)&" - Col"&XMATCH("Sub Total",header)&" 'Discount', Col"&XMATCH("Balance",header)&" - Col"&XMATCH("Invoice Amount",header)&" 'Paid sum'") The key is to ensure each LABEL is correctly associated with its column, and there’s proper spacing and punctuation.
