I am having trouble with the QUERY() function in Google Sheets. I'm not certain I am using the correct function to generate the required data. I am far more comfortable with T-SQL, but my wife needs a mailing list generated from her current google sheets.
The facts:
Sheet2 is populated with data from B3:K150
I have a list of names in Sheet2, Column B.
I have a list of addresses in Sheet2, Column G
Sheet1 contains no data other than the data populated in Column B (See below)
Sheet1, Column B is populated with a unique list of names from
Sheet2, Column B using =Unique('Sheet2'!$B$3:$B$150).
Goal:
I would like to populate Sheet1, Column C with Sheet2, Column G
WHERE Sheet1(ColumnB) = Sheet2(ColumnB)
Obviously, using SQL, we would write this as such:
SELECT [Sheet1].[ColumnB]
,[Sheet1].[ColumnC]
FROM [Sheet1]
INNER JOIN [Sheet2]
ON [Sheet1].[ColumnB] = [Sheet2].[ColumnB]
What I have tried:
INSERT the following formula into Sheet1!C3:
=QUERY(Sheet2!B3:K150,"SELECT G WHERE B ='"&Sheet1!B3:B150&"'",0)
Sheet screenshots:
What am I missing?
This worked well for me:
=unique(query(Sheet2!B3:G150,"select B,G"))
as posted by user: pnuts in comments above.
Try this in Sheet1C3 =Arrayformula(if(B3:B=Sheet2!B3:B,Sheet2!G3:G,"")) Let me know if you need me to explain the formula.

In the example I have a 2 column reference where data in column E is correlated to column F. I need the data in Column F to show up anytime data from Column E is entered in a separate worksheet if possible.
To be clear, is it possible to enter data in Column A of Sheet 1 that pulls the correlated data from column B in reference Sheet 2 and enters it into Column B of Sheet 1?
I tried using a simple function in a single sheet but it obviously doesn't do what I need.
You are after VLOOKUP or INDEX MATCH
Sheet1 b1 and fill down rows
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!E:F,2,FALSE),TEXT(,))
Or
=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet2!F:F,MATCH(A1,Sheet2!E:E,0)),TEXT(,))
If you set you data up as tables the formulas will autofill down. Rather than use entire columns you can set to the ranges containing data.
Data:
As you can see in the image I have a spreadsheet with different words and codes.
Column A is missing the codes found in column E and I would like to populate column A with the codes found in column E.
Is there a way to do that using a formula, if statement, or VBA macro?
Try this formula:
A2 = VLOOKUP(B2,$E$2:$F$10,2,FALSE)
Where:
B2 the name you want to get the code for
$E$2:$F$10 the range that holds your codes and names
Note:
Your look up range must have the names in column E and codes in column F
I have three columns of data (columns A, B, and C).
Column A contains a number
Column B contains a name
Column C contains a URL
In cell E1, I have a drop down list that references the cells in column A.
I need a function that generates a hyperlink based on the number picked from the drop down menu using the cells that are adjacent in columns B and C. In otherwords, if E1 = any cell in column A, then create a hyperlink with the adjacent cells in columns B and C... more generally:
=IF(E1=[Any cell in column A],HYPERLINK([same row column C],[same row column B],"")
Is it possible to create a dynamic formula that will do this? I have found similar questions, but none that ask precisely this, and I cannot seem to piece together my searches to come up with a solution.
thanks to any who help.
enter image description here
I hope you looking for like this
formula:
=HYPERLINK(VLOOKUP(E1;A1:C5;3;0);VLOOKUP(E1;A1:C5;3;0))
I believe (if i'm mentally imagining your spreadsheet right) that you'd be better off using the VLookup function to retrieve the URL. If i'm wrong and it's reversed, the HLookup function may be what you need. They're similar, just depending on the pivot of whether you're aiming for a value in a row (Vlookup) or Column (Hlookup).
This article does a pretty good job of explaining HLookup:
https://support.office.com/en-us/article/VLOOKUP-function-0bbc8083-26fe-4963-8ab8-93a18ad188a1
You can then use the lookup value for the HYPERLINK function to set the display text and the URL.
Ive never used vlookups i have a spreedsheet not sure if this is the right function. I have two sheets
Sheet 1
first name last name username
Sheet 2
first name last name employee id business unit
I need in column D on sheet 1 to have employee id ive below. Pay no attention to column letters and sheets because i moved to another sheet to try getting this right.
=MATCH(B11,Sheet1!C:C,0)
Any help is much appreciated.
So you realize you have to match both first and last names? There are several ways to accomplish this depending on how many employees you have in sheet 2: a) small list could a two-column search using array formula; b) large list just create another column in both sheets joining last & first names and do a MATCH or VLOOKUP on them.
Since your needs are simple and to illustrate option (b):
Insert a column in both Sheet1 and Sheet2 after the "last name"; you should now have an empty column C in both sheets.
Assuming you have column headers in row one, and thus data starts in row two, set cell C2 in both sheets with function =B2&","&A2, then fill-down that formula on both sheets in all rows.
Set Sheet1 cell E2 to formula =VLOOKUP(Sheet1!C2, Sheet2!$C:$D, 2, False), and fill-down that formula in all rows.
Voila, employee IDs on Sheet1. I do have to say this is so Excel 101. There are all sorts of examples and tutorials on this easily found using even the most trivial Google searches.
Here is my problem:
Sheet1 = "Interface". Sheet2 = "Data".
Column C5:C160 in "Data" contains a list of tasks.
Row D4:M4 in "Data" contains a list of position types (jobs), which I have labelled with "job categories" from 1-10. The range D5:M160 contains work-hours for each task and position type.
Values in columns E and F in "Interface" are related to columns C and row 4 in "Data" through data validation.
What I want to do is create an advanced filter that can copy values from D5:M160 in "Data" and paste these in column G in "Interface", if the values in columns E and F "Interface" match the values in column C and row 4 in "Data" respectively, simultaneously.
This means that it should be a macro to copy and paste values with matching multiple criteria (two criteria) from one sheet to another.
I have tried different things, with no success. I have also tried array formulas, vlookup and sumifs with multiple criteria, but none of these seem work.
Any ideas?
I appreciate your help!
The index formula combined with match is built just for this.
Index returns a value from a specified table when you provide a row and column.
Match is used to return the row/column based on criteria.
So on the Interface sheet (assuming your data starts in Row 1) you can place the following formula in G1 and copy it down as needed.
=INDEX(Data!$D$5:$M$160,MATCH(E1,Data!$C$5:$C$160,0),MATCH(F1,Data!$D$4:$M$4,0))
