Error in my Google Sheets Importrange/Query code

Time:02-23

Trying to import a few columns of code when it meets a certain criteria (it is for a member of staff called Jan) from my Master Checklist. The column I want exporting are columns A-F. My code keeps coming up with errors:

=QUERY(IMPORTRANGE('Master Checklist'!,A3:F100,"select A3:F100 where G matches 'Jan'"))

My code keeps coming up with an error

CodePudding user response:

If everything is in the same spreadsheet:

=QUERY('Master Checklist'!A3:G,"select A,B,C,D,E,F where G matches 'Jan'")

importrange() is dedicated to external spreadsheet and you have to mention the id in this case

If you import value from another spreadsheet

=QUERY(IMPORTRANGE("id or url","'Master Checklist'!A3:G"),"select Col1,Col2,Col3,Col4,Col5,Col6 where Col7 matches 'Jan'")

Note that

  • you do not need to mention the url, the id is sufficient
  • A,B,C ... becomes Col1,Col2,Col3 ...
