If query is empty return "no data" - google-sheets

I'm using Google Sheets and my database looks like this:
I have a query formula that changes dynamically based on the month:
my query:
=QUERY('database',"SELECT B,C WHERE A = '"&A1&"'")
At the beginning of the months I don't have data, so I want to display something like this:
I want the column userID permanent in all month, but the column name to display "NO DATA"
I already tried with IFNA or IFERROR but that won't work, because if there's no data, the query is still successful because it displays the column names.

You can try this longer combination of several formulas:
=arrayformula(
query({A2:C;split(E1&"_"&unique(filter(B2:B,B2:B<>""))&"_NO DATA", "_")},
"select Col2, max(Col3) where Col1 = '"&E1&"'
group by Col2
order by Col2 label max(Col3) ''", 0)
)
Where:
A2:C is the dictionary
B2:B is the column of userIDs
E1 is the Month
Outputs:

Need to know with formula in Google sheet

I have date in column A, Name in column B and Product sale data in column C. Now I want formula which gives me in return in another table, If that person has sold something on a particular date that sale data entry is shown
Do it with a pivot table so that you will have the answer without any formula.
Try query() with a pivot clause, like this:
=query(A1:C, "select A, B, count(B) where A is not null group by A, B pivot C", 1)
May be it can help too
=Query('Sales '!A1:C, "Select Col1, Col2, Col3 Where Col3 is not null",0)
'Sales ' is data source worksheet
use ,1 if you don't want to include the same headers of of your data source worksheet

Google Query SELECT statement concatenated with a NESTED IF result

Is it possible to return a Nested IF result from a CELL that will be concatenated to the SELECT statement in the QUERY function?
For example, I am trying to return the result for the following Nested IF function into the Query Function:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15i1E8AZHORRmPlu1VQqFRN1_7-aUyAz-hlYMOUtIlY4/edit?usp=sharing
Appreciate it, if anyone could take a look.

its done like this:
=QUERY(TESTDATA!A1:D16, "SELECT A, D, SUM(C) WHERE 1=1 "&
IF(AND(M3="NAME",N3="Customer"), " GROUP BY A, D PIVOT B",
IF(AND(N3 = "Customer"," AND A = '"&M3&"' GROUP BY A, D PIVOT B"),
" AND A = '"&M3&"' GROUP BY A, D PIVOT B",
" AND A = '"&M3&"'
AND D = '"&N3&"' GROUP BY A, D PIVOT B")), 1)
Sometimes, it's easier to FILTER the results before applying QUERY:
=ArrayFormula(QUERY(FILTER(A1:D16, A1:A16=M3, D1:D16=N3), "SELECT Col1, Col4, SUM(Col3) GROUP BY Col1, Col4 PIVOT Col2 LABEL Col1 'Name', Col4 'Customer'",0))
As you can see, this requires using Colx notation instead of letters to indicate columns in the SELECT clause; but this is actually (in my opinion) more versatile, since you don't have to rewrite the QUERY if you ever insert columns before the existing source data.
You'll also notice that I needed to LABEL the first two columns, since FILTER will have FILTERed out the headers. (In fact, for this reason, the ranges in the formula could just as easily have begun with row 2, e.g., A2:A16, etc.)
Finally, at least in your sample spreadsheet, you didn't need the sheet name to reference the source ranges, since the result is in the same sheet.

Filter IMPORTHTML data

When I import data, it comes in this format (image 1), with blank spaces. I would like to know if there is any way to adjust so that these blanks disappear, the two models expected (image 2 and 3) if there was any way to reach them would be important to me.
Remembering that all dates have / and all times have :
I tried to filter from QUERY, but when trying to "Select Col1, Col2, Col4 Where Col2 is not null" the dates disappear and only the times remain, I tried via REGEXMATCH to separate the dates from the times using / and : but also I was not successful.
I also tried it via IMPORTXML, but some data ends up not being imported correctly on some pages of the site, for IMPORTHTML these errors do not happen. The XML's I used were:
"//tr[#class='no-date-repetition-new' and ..//td[#class='team team-a']] | //tr[#class='no-date-repetition-new live-now' and ..//td[#class='team team-a']]"
"//td[#class='team team-a']/a | //td[#class='team team-a strong']/a"
The current formula is as follows:
=IMPORTHTML("https://int.soccerway.com/national/austria/1-liga/20192020/regular-season/r54328/","table",1)
IMPORTHTML Original:
Expected formats:
---
Rather than filtering what you need is to restructure the imported data.
Anyway, I think that the easier solution to get the final result is to use multiple IMPORTXML formulas.
URL
A1: https://int.soccerway.com/national/austria/1-liga/20192020/regular-season/r54328/
Headers
A2: //table[contains(#class,'matches')]/thead/tr/th
Day
A3: //td[contains(#class,'date')]/parent::tr
Teams and Score
A4: //td[contains(#class,'team-a')]/parent::tr
A6: =transpose(IMPORTXML($A$1,A2))
A7: =IMPORTXML($A$1,A3)
B7: =IMPORTXML(A1,A4)
You might want to replace the formula on A6 by static values in order to place them properly.
You can join 2 queries together (one next to the other) in a single formula, to get your results
={QUERY(IMPORTHTML("https://int.soccerway.com/national/austria/1-liga/20192020/regular-season/r54328/","table",1),
"select Col1 where Col2 is null and not Col1 contains '*'",1),
QUERY(IMPORTHTML("https://int.soccerway.com/national/austria/1-liga/20192020/regular-season/r54328/","table",1),
"select Col1, Col2, Col3, Col4 where Col2 is not null label Col1 'Time'",1)}
How the formula works:
As you notice the data part of both queries is the same in both of them. What is actually different is "what we ask for from the query"
In the first one we use "select Col1 where Col2 is null and not Col1 contains '*'"
In the second one "select Col1, Col2, Col3, Col4 where Col2 is not null label Col1 'Time'"
We create an array by joining them together as in ={1stQUERY,2ndQUERY}

How to use ARRAYFORMULA in query where clause?

In cell C1:C of my table I got 6 rows with ticket id's. I like to search different spreadsheets to search for those ticket id's and calculate the total hours spent on that ticket.
I have it working using the following formula:
=QUERY({IMPORTRANGE("SPREADSHEETID";"B3:B")\ARRAYFORMULA(TO_PURE_NUMBER(IMPORTRANGE("SPREADSHEETID";"F3:F")-IMPORTRANGE("SPREADSHEETID";"E3:E")))};"SELECT SUM(Col2) WHERE Col1 = '"&C1&"' GROUP BY Col1 LABEL SUM(Col2) ''")
In this example, C1 is where the ticket ID can be found.
Now I thought I could just wrap QUERY in a ARRAYFORMULA and use C1:C instead of just C1 but that won't work. Now I could just copy and paste the above formula in every cell but there must be a cleaner way.
ANSWER
I used the following formula to make it work, thanks to Max's answer below.
=QUERY(
{
IMPORTRANGE("SPREADSHEETID";"B3:B")\
ARRAYFORMULA(
TO_PURE_NUMBER(
IMPORTRANGE("SPREADSHEETID";"F3:F") - IMPORTRANGE("SPREADSHEETID";"E3:E")
)
)
};
"
SELECT Col1, SUM(Col2)
WHERE Col1 = '" & JOIN("' OR Col1 = '";FILTER(C:C; C:C <> "")) & "'
GROUP BY Col1
LABEL SUM(Col2) ''
")
Sample formula is:
=QUERY({A:B},"select * where Col1 = '"&JOIN("' or Col1 = '",FILTER(D2:D,D2:D<>""))&"'")
No, one cannot create an array of query strings and use arrayformula(query(...)) to run them all at once.
Alternative: instead of
SELECT SUM(Col2) WHERE Col1 = '"&C1&"' GROUP BY Col1 LABEL SUM(Col2) ''
use the query
SELECT Col1, SUM(Col2) GROUP BY Col1
elsewhere on the sheet, and then use vlookup to look up the sum for each value of Col1 that you want. vlookup can be used inside of arrayformula like this:
=arrayformula(vlookup(C1:C10, E:F, 2, 0))
looks up each of values in C1..C10 in the column E (exact match required) and returns the corresponding value in column F (2nd column of the searched range).

COUNTIF with more than one matching string in Google Spreadsheets

I'm wondering how I can use COUNTIF with more than one matching string in Google Spreadsheets.
The following is the important part, I would like to count in the spreadsheet those records that contain "BAIRRO NOVO" and "Externo". These strings appear in different columns, not in the same cell.
=COUNTIF(IMPORTRANGE("10OAEb2fBfvAqCdp1yyuTBQ4NErtxtOyJ29whFkvVqaw";"Data!B:P");"BAIRRO NOVO")
This could be done with countifs but only if the data was placed in the sheet: i.e., importrange(...) is done and then countifs refers to its columns like
=countifs(C:C, "BAIRRO NOVO", G:G, "Externo")
To get this count without putting all the data in the current spreadsheet, use query
=query(importrange(...), "select count(Col1) where Col2 = 'BAIRRO NOVO' and Col7 = 'Externo'", 1)
Here Col1, Col2, ... are columns of the imported range; in your case Col2 is C, for example, because the range begins with B. The last parameter "1" is the number of header rows the queried range has: typically 0 or 1.
To make sure the output is a single cell, without a header like "count(something)", add an empty label as follows.
=query(importrange(...), "select count(Col1) where Col2 = 'BAIRRO NOVO' and Col7 = 'Externo' label count(Col1) ''", 1)
To have the query output 0 instead of #N/A when nothing is found, wrap it in iferror(..., 0):
=iferror(query(importrange(...), "select count(Col1) where Col2 = 'BAIRRO NOVO' and Col7 = 'Externo' label count(Col1) ''", 1), 0)
