    Love it how implanted the split them join to create such a loop! Amazing idea, more to it I've adjusted the AND to OR too show all data in single words, thanks a lot, gonna be watching more and more of your vids to learm more too, never thought SQL could be such fun and amazing language and excitingly challenging to use to help me out big time with my needs 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    • @Azzz01s
      @Azzz01s Před 3 lety +2

      @Ömer Faruk Akkaya @21:12 see the AND after JOIN! ... change the AND to be OR, so by this the query will turn the results to anything that contains any of the words/letters you put in your search criteria. if you put DRESS BABY it will show you any results containing ANY of these two words and not necessarily containing both, hope it cleared for you ;)

    to make it search for multi columns:
    _=QUERY(data,"SELECT * WHERE D LIKE ""%"&B2&"%"" AND (C LIKE ""%"&B3&"%"" OR B LIKE ""%"&B3&"%"") ",1)_
    notice that AND & OR are logic gates and you should change between them if there is no result

    Greetings. I'm looking to query from a dropdown a data set that does not always exactly match the reference in the dropdown. I've tried CONTAINS, LIKE, wildcards (such as %), and it doesn't work. For example, my data would include "Kites Red", "Kites - Red", "Kites Blue", "Kites - Blue", etc. When the dropdown shows "Kites - Red", the "Kites Red" results do not appear. What query syntax can I use that will result in both "Kites - Red" and "Kites Red" showing as search results? Thanks.

    Is there a way to have the query function, pull from two or even three different columns in seperate search cells? So example I want to search the Location Column (E column), The Job Column (F Column), the Availability Column (G column), and I want each Search (location, Job, Availability) to be in their own separate search cells as drop down lists. So in Cell A5 is drop down search function for Location, in B5 is Drop down Search Function for Job, and C5 is Drop Down Search for Availability. I want to give the searcher several options on how to find the Artists that fits either one or search parameters.

    • @marcobanderas3306
      @marcobanderas3306 Před 2 lety

      You can try something like this (where A1=1st dropdown and A2=2nd dropdown). QUERY('Raw Data'!A1:E, "select * Where A is not null "&"IF(A1="AllResults",""," AND Lower(A) = Lower('"&A1&"') ")&IF(A2="AllResults",""," AND Lower(B) = Lower('"&A2&"')"),1,)

    • @marcobanderas3306
      @marcobanderas3306 Před 2 lety +1

      Found Simpler solution based on AND Statements =QUERY(Your Data Range,"SELECT * WHERE E LIKE ""%"&A1&"%"" AND F LIKE ""%"&A2&"%"" AND G LIKE ""%"&A3&"%""",1). Also, you can supplement those ANDs with ORs so that you don't get blanks/errors.
