How to Query Using Month using Query function
To query data using the month in the Query function in Google Sheets, you need to use the month()
function within the Query function. The month()
function extracts the month number from a date. Here's how you can do that:
- Assuming you have a range of data with a date column (e.g., A1:E100 with the date in column A).
- Choose a cell where you want to display the result of the query.
- Use the
QUERY()
function in the following format:
=QUERY(range, "SELECT * WHERE month(date_column) + 1 = target_month")
- Replace
range
with the range of data (e.g., A1:E100). - Replace
date_column
with the date column identifier (e.g., Col1 for column A). - Replace
target_month
with the month number you want to filter by (e.g., 5 for May).
Here's an example of how to use the Query function to filter data by month:
Example
Suppose we have the following data:
Date | Product | Sales |
---|---|---|
2021-01-01 | A | 100 |
2021-01-02 | B | 200 |
2021-02-01 | A | 150 |
2021-02-02 | B | 250 |
2021-03-01 | A | 300 |
2021-03-02 | B | 350 |
The data range is A1:C6, and we want to display the rows with sales data for February.
- Choose a cell where you want to display the result (e.g., E1).
- Enter the following formula:
=QUERY(A1:C6, "SELECT * WHERE month(Col1) + 1 = 2")
- Press Enter, and the result will be:
Date | Product | Sales |
---|---|---|
2021-02-01 | A | 150 |
2021-02-02 | B | 250 |
The query function returns the rows with sales data for February. Note that we added 1 to the month function because it returns months in the range of 0-11, not 1-12.
