How to Use “Not Equal” in Query using Query function

To use "Not Equal" in a query using the Query function in Google Sheets, you can use the "<>" operator. Here's how you can use it:

  1. Start by preparing your data in Google Sheets.
  2. In a new cell, type the following formula =QUERY(range, "SELECT * WHERE ColumnName <> 'Value'") and replace "range" with the range of data you want to query, "ColumnName" with the name of the column you want to filter, and "Value" with the value that should not be equal to.

Example

Let's say you have the following data:

A         B
1 Name    Age
2 John    25
3 Jane    30
4 Jack    25
5 Jill    35

Now, you want to filter the data to show only the rows where the Age is not equal to 25.

  1. In a new cell, type the following formula:
=QUERY(A1:B5, "SELECT * WHERE B <> 25")
  1. Press Enter.
  2. The filtered data will be displayed as follows:
Name    Age
Jane    30
Jill    35

In this example, we used the QUERY function to filter the data in the range A1:B5 and displayed the rows where the Age (column B) is not equal to 25.
