How to Insert Blank Columns in Output using Query function

To insert blank columns in the output using the Query function in Google Sheets, you can use an empty string in the SELECT statement. Here's how to do it:

  1. Open your Google Sheet containing the data.
  2. In an empty cell, type the QUERY function.
  3. In the SELECT statement, use an empty string "" to represent a blank column. You can add it in between the columns you want to separate with a blank column.

Here's an example:

Example

Suppose you have the following data in cells A1 to C4:

Name    Age    City
John    25     New York
Jane    30     Los Angeles
Doe     22     Chicago

To insert a blank column between the "Age" and "City" columns, use the following QUERY function:

=QUERY(A1:C4, "SELECT A, B, '', C")

The output will look like this:

Name    Age          City
John    25           New York
Jane    30           Los Angeles
Doe     22           Chicago

As you can see, the blank column has been inserted between the "Age" and "City" columns.
