Query Formula – 1 in Google Sheet

Query Formula – 1 in Google Sheet

In Google Sheets, the QUERY formula is used to extract data from a range based on a set of conditions. The basic syntax of the QUERY formula is as follows:

graphql
=QUERY(range, query, [header_row])

Here's a breakdown of each of the arguments:

• range: The range of cells that you want to query.
• query: The query string that specifies the conditions for the data you want to extract.
• header_row (optional): A number that specifies which row in the range contains the column headers. If omitted, the first row of the range is assumed to contain the headers.

Here's an example of a QUERY formula that extracts all rows from a range where the value in column A is greater than 10:

graphql
=QUERY(A1:B10, "SELECT * WHERE A > 10", 1)

In this example, A1:B10 is the range to be queried, "SELECT * WHERE A > 10" is the query string that specifies the conditions for the data you want to extract, and 1 indicates that the first row of the range contains the column headers.

The query string used in the example consists of two clauses: SELECT * specifies that all columns should be included in the output, and WHERE A > 10 specifies the condition for the data to be extracted. The > symbol specifies the condition that the value in column A must be greater than 10.

The QUERY formula is a powerful tool for extracting data from a range in Google Sheets, and it can be used to filter and sort data based on a wide range of conditions.
