I'm working with one Spreadsheet named "geral" (General, in Portuguese), where I saved all informations and the column A saves the Names of the people. I created another sheet just to see some columns from 'Geral' Sheet, and I entered the following formula in A1 cell:
=QUERY(geral!1:994; "select A,F,L,M order by A"; 1)
. It doesn't work, but if I wrote ... order by A desc it works well.
How can I write the query to see the data in "ABC" order, and not just descending?
Look lower down your sheet. Blanks are being sorted first.

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' ", )
I have a list of email addresses in one sheet (first column).
I have a list of transactions in another sheet with emails and sale amounts.
I am looking for a formula that adds up all the transaction $ sales for any transactions made by the people (emails) in the first sheet.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Your sample data is very limited (only one row matching one person, in fact). But the following formula should work for you. Place it in a new sheet, in cell A1:
=ArrayFormula(IFERROR({"Name","Total"; QUERY(FILTER(Transactions!A2:D,NOT(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(Transactions!A2:A,Tags!A:A,1,FALSE)))),"Select Col2, SUM(Col4) GROUP BY Col2 ORDER BY Col2 LABEL SUM(Col4) '' ")},"No Data"))
This one formula will produce the headers (which you can change within the formula itself as desired) and all results.
FILTER filters in only 'Transactions' data (names through amounts) where the emails are found in the 'Tags' sheet.
Then QUERY returns the name and totals for each match in alphabetical order by name.
If there are no matches, "No Data" will show instead.
If I understood your question correctly!
Try this on the sheet, where you only have emails and wanted to get sum of sales amount
=sumifs(range_whichHasTransaction , range_of_Email_inThat_TransactionsTable , Cell_Reference_ofEmail_forWhich_you_want_sum_the_Transaction_Amount)
it will Look something like this:-
sumifs(TransactionSheet!B:B,TransactionSheet!A:A,Emails!A2)
Reference
SUMIFS
We have hit the dreaded 5 million rows limit which is so small for any semi-serious data.
We have an important ArrayFormula piece in one of our worksheets (tab) currently that summarizes the data from another worksheet in the same file where time series data is kept with dates. This is our current function:
=ArrayFormula(SUMIFS(DataSheet!$B:$B,
MONTH(DataSheet!$A:$A), 1,
YEAR(DataSheet!$A:$A), 2020)
)
Explanation: This basically summed all of column B in the DataSheet tab for the month of Jan 2020 based on date found in column A of that sheet.
However, this worksheet of data that is now running close to that row limit. We can move it to another Google Sheets file, and refer to the same data via IMPORTRANGE.
The question then is how to refer to that data instead of the DataSheet!$A:$A in the above old formula? Will this reference be replaced by the entire IMPORTRANGE function?
Old:
=ArrayFormula(SUMIFS(DataSheet!$B:$B,
MONTH(DataSheet!$A:$A), 1,
YEAR(DataSheet!$A:$A), 2020)
)
New:
=ArrayFormula(SUMIFS(IMPORTRANGE(filename, rows)!$B:$B,
MONTH(IMPORTRANGE(filename, rows)!$A:$A, 1,
YEAR(IMPORTRANGE(filename, rows)!$A:$A, 2020)
)
This does not work of course, because we cannot have the exclamation ! followed by the column in an importrange. Any other thoughts?
Try this in cell A1 on a fresh, brand new tab somewhere:
=ARRAYFORMULA(QUERY(1*TEXT(IMPORTRANGE("[spreadsheet key]","Sheet1!A:B"),{"mmmyyyy","0.00"}),"select Col1,SUM(Col2) where Col2<>0 group by Col1 order by Col1")
The "spreadsheet key" is the combination of letters and numbers after the "/d/" and before the "/edit..." in the URL of your source sheet.
Obviously, you'd also replace "Sheet1!A:B" with whatever the real tab/column reference is.
Then, select all of Column A and from the Menu choose Format>Number>More Formats>Custom Number Formatting, Then this in the dialog box:
mmmm yyyy
You want to IMPORTRANGE from two different sheets in a different spreadsheet.
While the following formula will import data from both sheets, it will also import the blank rows, so you might have to scroll down hundreds of rows in order to see the data from the second sheet (and this might give your the wrong impression that the second sheet is not getting imported):
{
IMPORTRANGE("SPREADSHEET_ID","CurrentMonth!$A:$J");
IMPORTRANGE("SPREADSHEET_ID","All2020!$A:$J")
}
You can use QUERY in order to filter out blank rows:
=QUERY(
{
IMPORTRANGE("SPREADSHEET_ID","CurrentMonth!$A:$J");
IMPORTRANGE("SPREADSHEET_ID","All2020!$A:$J")
},
"SELECT * WHERE Col1 IS NOT NULL ORDER BY Col1 DESC"
)
Note:
I thought you'd like to sort the data according to the date in column A, please remove ORDER BY Col1 DESC if that's not the case.
I would like to access data from one Google Spreadsheet on another using strictly formulas.
Currently, I am able to import data using the =IMPORTRANGE(), but need to take this a couple steps further.
The data that I have looks like this:
Spreadsheet 1: Each sheet is for a different day, and has people and the number of fruits they pick from a farm (this is example data). However, the people are not necessarily organized exactly the same way on each day.
Spreadsheet 2: Each sheet is organized by person. Row A has the day (which will be used to lookup from the other spreadsheet), and a function exists in the second spreadsheet to find the persons name (=sheetName()).
What I have so far is [for Spreadsheet 2]:
=IMPORTRANGE(Master!A1, A2 & "!B2")
Where Master!A1 refers to the link of the other spreadsheet, A2 refers to the Day1. However, the part I am looking to replace is the 2 in the B2 to find the row of the person's name in the sheet Day1 from the first spreadsheet.
I feel like I have to do something like this:
=IMPORTRANGE(Master!A1, A2 & "!B" & MATCH(IMPORTRANGE(Master!A1,A2 & "!B1:B100"),sheetName(),0))
, but this gives me the error that it "Did not find value 'Apples' in match evaluation"
Here is the example folder with the two spreadsheets.

All help is appreciated!
I can't find the sample data that you attached but here's what you need to do.
1. Link of the other spreadsheet
2. Name of the sheet to import from
3. =importrange(link,sheet!A:D) [for the sake of an example]
4. =query(importrange(link, sheet!A:D),"select * where Col1 = 'Person's_Name' ",1)
Share a sheet if you are not able to put it together on your data. Cheers!!
I'm trying to make a database of students using Google Sheets. It contains info about students, groups and orders; orders can change students membership in groups (taken in a group, moved up to a new group, graduated, on leave, sent down). Here are sample database sheets and here is a detailed description of my DB structure (the sheet report_Groups is slightly changed, its previous variant, described on the link, is now named old_report_Groups).
I need a query that would select a list of present members of given group on the given date. That means that for each student I have to select
the name, the latter status before given date and corresponding group. And from this result select student names, where statuses are "Taken in" or "Moved Up" and group is the same as given one.
The problem is to select the latter status. It should be MAX(status), whose "since" date ≤ given date, but there's a well-known problem of selecting more than one field together with aggregate function. Here is a question which is very close to, but query from its "best" answer gives me error "QUERY:NO_COLUMN". I've even copied the sheet Raw from there and tried to perform proposed query (with the onliest modification — replacing commas with semicolons according to my locale restrictions) on the data it was reported to work on — same error (check Raw and report_Raw sheets in my DB). Other variant (via MMULT and TRANSPOSE) works, but it's perfomance is very poor.
What can you suggest me? Thanks in advance.
Update: I've found the solution with an issue (described in my answer).
To solve the issue I need to know an answer for a different question.
Here's the solution (with an issue described below).
A. Orders_Students is filtered for selecting rows, having "since" cell value ≤ given date (report_Groups!A2):
=QUERY(Orders_Students!B:E;"select E, B, C, D where E <= date '" & TEXT(report_Groups!A2;"yyyy-MM-dd") & "'";1)
This interim result is stored at the inner_report_Groups tab (it will be referenced few times in the next query).
B. inner_report_Groups is filtered for selecting MAX("since") values and corresponding row cell values for each student:
ARRAYFORMULA(VLOOKUP(QUERY({ROW(inner_report_Groups!A$2:A)\SORT(inner_report_Groups!A$2:D)};"select max(Col1) group by Col3 label max(Col1)''";0);{ROW(inner_report_Groups!A$2:A)\SORT(inner_report_Groups!A$2:D)};{3\4\5};0)
The formula above is used as inner query in report_Groups!D2 (also in D3, D4—with appropriate indeces).
C. The second query result is filtered to get students whose status is either "Taken in" or "Moved Up" and corresponding group is equal to the given group (report_Groups!B2 (also in B3, B4—with appropriate indeces)):
=TRANSPOSE(IFERROR(QUERY(<here is the formula from step B>);"select Col1 where Col3 = '" & B2 & "' and (Col2='Taken in' or Col2='Moved Up')";0)))
The formula above is used as outer query in report_Groups!D2 (also in D3, D4—with appropriate indeces). IFERROR is intended to display nothing if query result is #N/A.
That query displays the needed results as you can see in report_Groups tab. But as the query on step B searches the whole columns of inner_report_Groups, there's only a single given date can be analysed (or the query interim results for other given dates should be placed in different columns of inner_report_Groups or at the different tab. Is there any way to give an alias for an interim result to refer it in a single cell formula instead of keeping it on different tab?
