google sheet query error AVG_SUM_ONLY_NUMERIC - google-sheets

Hi I use this query formula in google sheet and it works good as long as there is values in column E,F,G.
=Query('CM Invoice Report'!A10:G,"Select C,Sum(E),Sum(F),Sum(G) where C is not null Group By C Label C'', Sum(E)'', Sum(F)'', Sum(G)''",0)
The problem is if one of the column as no value I get #VALUE AVG_SUM_ONLY_NUMERIC error so I tried adding an iferror to the formula as suggested in many post but I just can't seem to get it to work.
PS. I've also tried replacing column C,E,F,G with Col3,Col5,Col6,Col7 and still nothing.
Here's the other formula I've tried.
=Query({Iferror(query('CM Invoice Report'!A10:G,"Select C,Sum(E),Sum(F),Sum(G) where C is not null Group By (C) Label C'', Sum(E)'', Sum(F)'', Sum(G)''",0),{"","","",""})})
Any help would be greatly appreciated

It's possible that in one of the columns you have many text values? If that's so, QUERY is possibly handling that column as text, considering the actual numbers as text. You may try converting them to its numeric value; IFERROR will exclude those that are really text:
=Query({'CM Invoice Report'!C10:C,INDEX(IFERROR(VALUE('CM Invoice Report'!E10:G)))},"Select Col1,Sum(Col2),Sum(Col3),Sum(Col4) where Col1 is not null Group By Col1 Label Col1 '', Sum(Col2) '', Sum(Col3)'', Sum(Col4)''",0)

Finding the first value in a row and getting the address using ArrayFormula

in this example table, I want to get the first "failed" or "passed" from result 1, 2, and 3 column. I already made a formula to get the first mentioned value using:
=IF(C2=C2,CELL("address",INDEX(D2:F2,MATCH(C2,D2:F2,0))),)
which works fine (the column result is from that formula)
But when I'm trying to use ArrayFormula on the formula, it only shows the first row value only. my ArrayFormula is like this:
=ArrayFormula(IF(C2:C4=C2:C4,CELL("address",INDEX(D2:F2,MATCH(C2:C4,D2:F2,0))),))
i think its because the INDEX and MATCH doesn't update as it goes down, any idea how to fix this?

You could use a query to get the minimum column matching the value in column C for each row in D to F:
=ArrayFormula(lambda(a,address(index(a,,1),index(a,,2)))
(query(split(flatten(if(C2:C="",,if(D2:F=C2:C,row(C2:C)&"|"&column(D2:F),))),"|"),"select Col1,min(Col2) where Col2 is not null group by Col1 label min(Col2) ''")))
Or alternatively you can use a formula similar to your original one with Byrow:
=ArrayFormula(if(C2:C="",,byrow(C2:F,lambda(r,CELL("address",INDEX(r,1+MATCH(index(r,,1),index(r,,2):index(r,,columns(r),0))))))))

Google Sheets query to get sum of two columns

I am trying to get sum of two columns using Query function and am getting perfect result when all the two columns have value, however, if any of the column is not having a value than the result will be blank. In such a case I want to reflect the value of the second column having data. Check the below image:
Formula used =QUERY(A2:C,"select A,B+C label B+C ''",0)
Sharing the link of the sheet too for reference.

Any help on above will be appreciated.
I had also searched community for similar issue but not found the exact match.
Give a try on below formula-
=QUERY({A2:A,INDEX(IF(B2:C="",0,B2:C))},"select Col1,Col2+Col3 where Col1 is not null label Col2+Col3 ''")
Here IF(B2:C="",0,B2:C) will convert null cells to zero 0 values.
try:
=INDEX({A2:A4, B2:B4+C2:C4})

How to 'count' only when header matches value?

I have a Google Form that collects a bunch of data from dropdown questions on a Sheet with each question going to one column (as normal). On separate sheets, I want to be able to count how many times each option is selected.
Here is an example of what the response sheet might look like. A, B, and C are all questions.
I would then have separate sheets for 'Person?', 'Place?', and 'Thing?'. The 'Person?' sheet would look something like this:
I want to be able to add in the count of each time the option appears for that question. In the example, notice that 'Napoleon" is in both Col A and Col C. If I just count the number of times 'Napoleon' appears, I will get '2' even though he only appears once in the "Person?" responses.
I originally used a QUERY function like =QUERY('Input Data'!1:1000, "select count(A) where A contains '"&$A2&"'",0). BUT, I need it to be dynamic. So the "Person?" question may not always be Col A. I want the Query (or whatever formula) to search the headers and only return the count of that option for that question even if the column location changes.
Okay, I figured it out! In case someone else is curious, I used this formula:
=QUERY({'Input Data'!A1:L}, "SELECT COUNT(Col"&MATCH("Person?", 'Input Data'!1:1,0)&") WHERE Col"&MATCH("Person?", 'Input Data'!1:1,0)&" CONTAINS '"&$A2&"' label COUNT(Col"&MATCH("Person?", 'Input Data'!1:1,0)&") ''",0)
Lee, I sent you a PM about your most recent post, but in the process, I came across this one. There is no need for multiple formulas or manual entry references. One formula can produce the entire report with headers, listing and counts:
=IFERROR(QUERY(FILTER(FILTER(A:L,A:A<>""),A1:L1="Person?"),"Select Col1, COUNT(Col1) GROUP BY Col1 ORDER BY Col1 LABEL COUNT(Col1) 'Count'",1),"No Matches")
Just fill in the header your looking for between the quotes where Person? is now.
The double FILTERs mean "Start with only rows where Col A is not null and Row 1 reads 'Person?'"
Then QUERY simply returns the unique names in the left column and their counts in the right column. Because the QUERY had a final parameter of 1, any existing header will be kept (in this case, the one you were searching for); and the created column will receive a header (i.e., LABEL) of Count.
IFERROR will give a friendly error message if no matches are found (in which case check that what you entered for the search in the formula exactly matches a column header in the range).

Google Sheets Query returning odd formatting

I have a simple sheet to try to track and format race results from a league that I've joined. For the most part I know how I want to do this but when I use a query it's dropping data in some situations and formatting it strangely in others.
It seems as if where there are more numbers in a column than text it drops all text entries.
In addition for some reason when I add a check row, if it's included in the query it pushes almost all the data into a single cell except for the check row.
Would someone mind having a look and trying to figure out why it's doing this. Link Below
On sheet RRL1 I have my compiled data on the left, my 'missing' data on the right and my weirdly formatted data below.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1c9xlQG06dQCrpMk3UMAX29oTlpRuhTfx6btbYTGmC8g/edit?usp=sharing
The query() formula will only support one data type per column — number, text, boolean or date. The type is determined by the majority of the values in the first few hundred rows. Values that are of another type will be returned as null, i.e., blank values.
=QUERY('Tournament Details'!D2:E22)
Use an { array expression } like this:
={ 'Tournament Details'!D2:E22 }
=TRANSPOSE(query('Tournament Details'!I3:I26))
Use this:
=transpose('Tournament Details'!I3:I26)
Use this pattern to replace "DNS" and "DNF" with nulls:
=arrayformula(
query(
{ 'RRL1'!A1:C, iferror(value('RRL1'!D1:D)) },
"select Col3, sum(Col4)
where Col3 is not null
group by Col3
label sum(Col4) 'Total AUS RRL1' ",
1
)
)
The "squished" values you mention come about because you are not specifying the headers parameter. The best practice is to always include it, like this:
=query('Tournament Details'!A2:E22,"select A where C != 'N/A'", 1)

IMPORTRANGE: value missing?

I have been working on this issue for a few weeks now and can't seem to find a solution. I used this answer (IMPORTRANGE with CONDITIONS) to get as far as I could, but I keep getting a value error.
This is the sheet I'm working with.
My goal is to use the first tab in the sheet (All Games) to enter all the games that I come across to create a compendium. But, then I want it to automatically populate the other tabs based on certain criteria (what type of game, skills learned, etc.)
On the Warm-Ups tab you'll see the formulas I have tried. A1 is the most recent.
Here is the formula I tried:
=QUERY(IMPORTRANGE("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1F64PMg_iFu-DaJAUaE4BkpqF4zoteknp56VfwAUe8ag/edit#gid=1359689553", "All Games!A1:A1300"),"SELECT Col1 WHERE (Col2 = 'w') ")
I am getting a value error:
Unable to parse query string for Function QUERY parameter 2: NO_COLUMN: Col2
you are trying to reference Col2 but you selected range A1:A1300 which is just 1 column. therefore try:
=QUERY(IMPORTRANGE("1F64PMg_iFu-DaJAUaE4BkpqF4zoteknp56VfwAUe8ag", "All Games!A1:B1300"),
"SELECT Col1 WHERE (Col2 = 'w') ")
from the brief look on your sheet, you may want use matches or contains instead of = in your QUERY
You are only importing (part of) ColumnA - so no wonder Google can't find a second column :)
