Would really appreciate some help with this Google Sheets formula.
I'm trying to pull up events that occur on `=Today() using a query formula, but it just isn't working. The purpose for this is to have a kind of calendar on my dashboard.
AO is the column that holds the dates for events. BG is the client's name.
=QUERY(clients,"SELECT BG, AP, AQ, AR WHERE AO = date '"&TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyy-mm-dd")&"'",0)
Issue
The problem lies with the optional argument in QUERY function which is set to 1 in your current formula. Setting it to 1 will force the query to return a value, thus, having the first row in the data set as the result.
Solution
You should set the said optional argument to 0. Apply to both TODAY and TOMORROW tables. Please see formula below:
=QUERY(courtdates,"SELECT BV, AR, BO WHERE BN = date '"&TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyy-mm-dd")&"'",0)

I am trying to sum values using sumifs but I am getting an error. Went throught several website but I guess I don't have a good understanding of how SUMIF works.
Right now I have a sheet with a registry date(C), a price per weeek(G) and a end date(D).
I would want to calculate the earning every week.
So I created another sheet with every week of the year.
=SUMIFS(Clients!G2:G;A5;>=Clients!C2:C;A5;<=Clients!D2:D)
I am not using coma as a separator as my google sheet is not in english.
I am trying to sum the incomes if the date on the second sheet is between the starting date and the end date. But I keep getting errors and I don't really unerstand why.
Thanks
I found an formula which look to be working.
=SUMIFS(Clients!G2:G;Clients!C2:C;"<="&A5;Clients!D2:D;">="&A5)
I guess that it was not working because I was letting A5 to incremente.
Problem solved.
Thanks for your help.
Find out more here on Google's post about =SUMIFS().
Sample usage
SUMIFS(A1:A10, B1:B10, ">20")
SUMIFS(A1:A10, B1:B10, ">20", C1:C10, "<30")
SUMIFS(C1:C100, E1:E100, "Yes")
Syntax
SUMIFS(sum_range, criteria_range1, criterion1, [criteria_range2, criterion2, ...])
sum_range – The range to be summed.
criteria_range1 – The range to be checked against criterion1.
criterion1 – The pattern or test to apply to criteria_range1.
criteria_range2, criterion2, … (OPTIONAL) – Additional ranges and criteria to be checked.
in Google Spreadsheets I have a column A with dates and column B with specific values corresponding these dates:
A
B
10-Jan
51.1
11-Jan
49.2
14-Jan
50.3
If I find via VLOOKUP function the value of 11-Jan, it will work and show 49.2.
Off cause it won't work if I try to find a value of 13-Jan since it is absent from the list of dates. However, if the date is absent in column A I want to get the value of earlier date which is in the list (i.e. I want to get 49.2 corresponding to 11-Jan, if I use 13-Jan as the query for finding the value).
Maybe this type of search can be realized by using INDIRECT function, but I can't figure out the formula.
How do realize this?
Your problem can be solved by using vlookup only but with different parameter, if you indicate True for the last parameter, it mean the formula will try to return the closer match if it cannot found any result.
=arrayformula(VLOOKUP(E1:E5,A:B,2,True))
This question already has an answer here:
How to compare dates or date against today with query on google sheets?
(1 answer)
Closed 5 months ago.
I would like to use the today function in a query. Right now I have to manually change the date each morning, which is time consuming. The query is:
=QUERY(StageTracking!A:W, "SELECT C where A =date'2021-05-13'")
When I try
=QUERY(StageTracking!A:W, "SELECT C where A =today()")
I get a #VALUE error.
I know it's just a syntax thing I'm not catching but I have tried many variations on the line above.
Let me offer another (perhaps simpler) option, given what I can tell from your post info.
Add a header in the top cell of your results column and put the following formula into the second cell of that otherwise empty column:
=FILTER(StageTracking!C2:C,StageTracking!A2:A=TODAY())
ADDENDUM (after seeing the actual sheet):
This is an excellent case in point of why it is always most efficient and effective to share a link to a sheet, since your formula attempts as originally posted (and mine as posted above) would not work with your actual layout and goal.
I've added a new sheet ("Erik Help").
First, I un-merged Rows 2-8 and simply increased the height of Row 2. There was no reason to merge those rows; and merging nearly always causes issues, especially in ranges where formulas or reference ranges are involved.
Next, I deleted your original A2 formula (=QUERY(StageTracking!A1:W1000,"select C where A = '06/23/2021'",1)) and replaced it with the simple =StageTracking!C1, which accomplishes the same thing. Again, I'm not sure what led to the long formula, but it was unnecessary.
I then deleted all of your individual erroneous formulas from B2:K2 and replaced them with one formula in B2:
=FILTER(FILTER(StageTracking!E2:W,StageTracking!A2:A=TODAY()),ISODD(COLUMN(StageTracking!E1:W1)))
This formula first creates a FILTERed array of everything from E2:W where A2:A = TODAY(). Then a second FILTER is applied to bring in only the odd columns.
NOTE: currently, while the formula is working, you will see no results in E2:W because you don't have any data for TODAY in your StageTracking sheet yet. Once you add data for today's date, you will see the formula populate B2:K2. (Or, you can simply add -1 after TODAY() in the current formula if you want to see the results from "yesterday" temporarily, in order to be sure the formula is, in fact, working.)
Try this:
=QUERY(StageTracking!A1:W1000,"select C where A = '06/23/2021'",1)
or
=QUERY(StageTracking!A1:W1000,"select C where A = date '"&TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyy-mm-dd")&"'",1)
Take a few minutes to review the scalar functions supported in the QUERY() function.

You can use YEAR(), MONTH(), DAY() or NOW(). NOW() is a compete datestamp including time, so that would require more effort.

Im trying to get the sum of all values for each ID. The values im trying to add up are found in the Source tab while the calculations are done in the Output. My desired values are based on 2 things: ID and Date. The Id is supposed to match and the Date is supposed to be February. I tried first just using a sumif with just matching ID and it worked using this formula: =ARRAYFORMULA(IF(A2:A="",, SUMIF(Source!A:A,A2:A,Source!B:B)))
But when I add the 2nd critera and use a sumifs function, it only outputs for the first id. Here is the sumifs formula I used: =ARRAYFORMULA(SUMIFS(Source!B2:B,Source!A2:A,A2:A,Source!C2:C,">="&DATE(2021,2,1),Source!C2:C,"<="&DATE(2021,2,28)))
I tried using query as some of the answers I found online suggested to use it but it also outputs the first data only, here is the query formula I used =ARRAYFORMULA(QUERY(Source!A2:C,"select sum(B) where A = '"&Output!A2:A&"' and C >= date '"&TEXT(DATEVALUE("2/1/2021"),"yyyy-mm-dd")&"' and C <= date '"&TEXT(DATEVALUE("2/28/2021"),"yyyy-mm-dd")&"' label sum(B) '' "))
I know this is possible by making a temporary query/filter where you only include desired dates and from there I can use SUMIF, but I will be needing to make a monthly total and making 12 of these calculated temporary filters/query would take up a lot of space since we have a lot of data so I want to avoid this option if possible. Is there a better fix to this situation?

I've been trying to use Google Sheets Query to find the more recent data of a particular name while pulling the rest of the data from the row. And having not luck.
This is a sample of what the Raw Data looks like:
And this is the output that I would like to achieve:
The closest I got to the output that I need is
=QUERY('Raw Data'!A:F,"select max(A), B, C, D, E group by B, C, D, E",1)
But the most important data is in F. When I add in F to 'select' the formula breaks, so I also grouped by F. Then that also pulls in the 4/1/17 data for Mark.
Anyone know whats going on? Or have a better formula for me to work with?
Thanks!
As far as what is going on, I worked with your formula and it picked up the extra date for Mark even before I added column F. As I understand it, if you want the max date per person, you really need =QUERY('Raw Data'!A:F,"select max(A),B group by B",1)
I put that in A1 in the worksheet I was using (not the same as the raw data one). So in its column A and B, I now had the maximum date and the person's name. Next to the first date, I put in column C the following formula, then dragged it down. I was simplifying to do just dates, but I believe it could be adapted to handle times if needed (if the person does multiple times a day and you want only the latest).
="'"&text(A3,"yyyy-mm-dd")&"'".
This gave me the date in single quotes, which I then used in column D, that built up the where clause, with the following formula in the first row,="(A=date "&C3&" and B='"&B3&"')" and the draggable formula =D3&" or "&"(A=date "&C4&" and B='"&B4&"')" in each subsequent row.
In the example with 3 people, the last clause ended up in D5 for me, so my final query was=QUERY('Raw Data'!A:F,"select A,B,C,D,E,F where"&D5,1), and that generated the desired results. My hesitation about this answer is whether it will scale, or whether it will too quickly hit a limit on length of the where clause.
