Import Range Query not importing data - google-sheets

Sorry I know this question has been asked before - I have tried changing my query around but can't seem to get it to work as expected, doesn't look to be anything wrong..
I am simply trying to query data from one large master sheet into a few separate sheets. I am using importrange to get the data from sheet, and a simple select query to filter by one of the columns. If I do a select * I get all the data as expected, but can't use a WHERE clause with any column (I just need 1 of the columns, but I tried with a few different ones).
Appreciate any help!
Query:
=QUERY(IMPORTRANGE("1sNA9u2uQW-XjEKjrVS2a5LtTPCchwSuTkXfjhTJtvPk","Sheet1!B:I"),"select * WHERE 'Rank'='LTC' ")
Columns
Username Rank Time In Service TIS Time In Grade TIG Promotable Awards PLT/SQD
Source sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sNA9u2uQW-XjEKjrVS2a5LtTPCchwSuTkXfjhTJtvPk
Test sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UCucsfE0M4j95d_47iN0LrAhS0luv8wXVMHRVTHJHRQ

As player0 stated, you should refer to the columns by its number, you can select multiple columns and state multiple "where" statements by using Col1,Col2, etc respectively. In this case: Where Col2 = 'LTZ'

try:
=QUERY({IMPORTRANGE("1sNA9u2uQW-XjEKjrVS2a5LtTPCchwSuTkXfjhTJtvPk", "Sheet1!B:I")},
"where Col1='LTC' ", )

Google sheet complex query?

Hello I need help with named range in google sheet...
=QUERY(Data,"SELECT C,D,E,SUM(G),L,SUM(G*M) WHERE A = '"&$A$1&"' AND E = '"&$B$1&"' GROUP BY C,D,E,L",1)
I'd like to calculate columnG*columnM and than SUM this results when grouping.
This works fine before I start grouping table. I could do columnG*columnM get result and use another QUERY but don't like the idea of using many helpers. Is it even possible?
Could you provide a link to your project ? I make a simplified example : if you need the sum of ColumnB x ColumnC, you have to add to your data an extra column as following
=query({A2:C,arrayformula(B2:B*C2:C)},"select SUM(Col4) group by Col1 ")
and then usie ColX instead of A,B,C and the extra column D.

Query particular row + remove X columns + and sum the rest in one formula?

I have a CSV file that I'm pulling from a database. It's in an awkward layout so I need to reorganise it and display the result in a separate sheet.
Here is a dummy example of the data structure I get.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sTfjr-rd0vMIeb3qgBaq9SC8felJ1Pb4Vk_fMNXQKQg/edit?usp=sharing
It looks like that. The database grows every day by date and sometimes countries so I need to account to that in my formula.
I need to pull data per each country and display it by date.
I don't need data from Column A, C and D. And when there are multiple states I need to sum them up in one column.
It should look like this and keep growing downwards. I'm gonna use this table for a graph chart
What I've tried so far
=TRANSPOSE(QUERY(IMPORTRANGE("url_to_a_separate_sheet_where_I_importing_a_row_csv_file", "CSV-source-sheet!A1:500"), "SELECT * WHERE Col2='Germany'"))
This works, kinda. But pulls in unnecessary columns and I can't figure out how to sum countries with multiple states. When I add select sum(*) it gives me a big and long error. I assume it might be because of unnecessary columns that the formula cant sum up and I don't know how to omit them. I'm stuck
I tried offset and skipping no luck. Any ideas?
try:
=ARRAYFORMULA(TRANSPOSE(QUERY({Sheet2!B:B, Sheet2!E:BE},
"select Col1,"&TEXTJOIN(",", 1,
"sum(Col"&ROW(INDIRECT("Sheet2!A2:A"&COUNTA(Sheet2!1:1)-5))&")")&"
where Col1 is not null
group by Col1
label Col1'Date'", 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 :)

How to concatenate strings and select the same columns multiple times using Query (Google Sheets)

I am trying to generate a table for the Gantt chart. Table should have this format:
https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/ganttchart#data-format
So,I need task name the same like taks ID, but in Query I can't use Col1 twice (I get error)
=QUERY({Tab1;Tab1};"select Col1,Col1,Col5,Col16,Col17 WHERE Col16>now() ORDER BY Col5 DESC,Col17 ";0)
The second point is that it is also not possible to merge two columns as a result, so it doesn't work:
=QUERY({Tab1;Tab1};"select Col1+Col7,Col1,Col5,Col16,Col17 WHERE Col16>now() ORDER BY Col5 DESC,Col17 ";0)
Here is my data and 2 results what I neet to get by QUERY
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CZYgfYo6oIeONZOH6ZR5rOW615HuH4ICaoe7lj0dapw/edit#gid=0
These are such trivial things in a real SQL, is there no way to do it somehow straightforwardly in Google Query? So far I have found a combination of QUERY and ARRAYFORMULA but then there are very complicated queries - mutants. Not easier?
You don't need Query, just Arrays.
You will get the first result from this code:
={ARRAYFORMULA(B3:B&" "&C3:C)\A3:A}
The second result from this code:
={A3:A\A3:A\B3:B1}
Based on your example I assume that you are not using US spreadsheet settings.
If so formulas have to be change to:
First:
={ARRAYFORMULA(B3:B&" "&C3:C),A3:A}
Second:
={A3:A,A3:A,B3:B}
Link to working example: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eMkOkyFwvDeYSy-8UlhQum4OWcb-4WJqGxy_CXM8pVs/edit?usp=sharing
I see that in your real sheet you would like to compare some data with now(). You can easily do this using array I propose as a source to Query. There will you have something like this (of course now it will not work - its only an example - an array have only 2 columns, not 15):
=QUERY({ARRAYFORMULA(B3:B10&" "&C3:C10)\A3:A10};"select * where Col15>now()";0)
About Query - you can't perform arthmetic operations on column containing strings. Look at the documentation: https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/querylanguage#arithmetic-operators
"I can't use Col1 twice (I get error)"
You can duplicate your indata that to solve this.
QUERY({Tab1 Column 1\Tab1 Column 1};"Select Col1, Col2......"
"Tab1 Column 1" is now Col1 and Col2
"The second point is that it is also not possible to merge two columns as a result, so it doesn't work:"
Yes, adding result of column is possible "select Col1+Col7......" is correct.

Combining multiple spreadsheets in one using IMPORTRANGE

I would like to aggregate the data of multiple spreadsheets into one spreadsheet.
Spreadsheet 1 has a Row of Strings A2:A500
Spreadsheet 2 has a Row of Strings A2:A500
Spreadsheet 3 is supposed to have a Row of both (Spreadsheet1!A2:A500 AND Spreadsheet2!A2:A500).
Duplicates shall not be handled differently. I would like them to appear as often as they appear in the different sheets.
Is it possible to do this without writing a script or using jQuery, e.g. by using IMPORTRANGE?
What does not work: I have tried using IMPORTRANGE as follows:
ARRAY{IMPORTRANGE("key-of-spreadsheet1","list!A2:A500"), IMPORTRANGE("key-of-spreadsheet2", "list!A2:A500")}
This causes an error.
You should be able to use a vertical array in the Spreadsheet 3:
={IMPORTRANGE("Sheet1Key","SheetName!A2:A500");IMPORTRANGE("Sheet2Key","SheetName!A2:A500")}
Of course, it is also possible to combine several IMPORTRANGE() functions with the QUERY() function, which gives us a greater control over the results we import.
For example, we can use such a construction:
=QUERY(
{
IMPORTRANGE("key-or-url-of-spreadsheet-1", "'sheet-name-1'!A2:Z100");
IMPORTRANGE("key-or-url-of-spreadsheet-2", "'sheet-name-2'!A2:Z100");
IMPORTRANGE("key-or-url-of-spreadsheet-3", "'sheet-name-3'!A2:Z100");
IMPORTRANGE("key-or-url-of-spreadsheet-4", "'sheet-name-4'!A2:Z100")
},
"SELECT * WHERE Col1 IS NOT NULL ORDER BY Col3 ASC"
)
###Explanation:
The above query removes blank lines from imported ranges:
SELECT * WHERE Col1 IS NOT NULL
and sorts ascending all data collected together in relation to the third column:
ORDER BY Col3 ASC
For descending, just use DESC in place of ASC.
Of course, we can also arrange any other criteria, or omit them displaying everything without modification:
"SELECT * "
###Note:
In order to use the above constructed query, we first need to call a single IMPORTRANGE() method for each of the spreadsheets we want to refer:
=IMPORTRANGE("key-or-url-of-spreadsheet-1", "'sheet-name-1'!A2:Z100")
We have to do this even if we refer to the same spreadsheet in which we write this formula, but for every spreadsheet it is enough to do it once.
This is to be able to connect these sheets and allow access to the sheets (to which we have the access rights anyway):
                                                    
After giving permission for all spreadsheets, we can use the above query.
I am also applying above given formula for getting data from multiple spreadsheet which is getting an error something is like IN ARRAY_LITERAL An array literal was missing values for one or more rows.
Easy fix: Apply the filter to the entire column / sheet instead of just the current selection. This will automatically update all of the filters to include new additions.
