Mastering VLOOKUP, IMPORTRANGE, and QUERY in Google Sheets: A Comprehensive Guide

If you’re working extensively with Google Sheets, you might find yourself needing to combine multiple functions to achieve your data analysis goals. One common challenge is performing a VLOOKUP between two workbooks while applying additional filtering criteria. In this post, we’ll walk through a specific scenario where you want to look up values from Workbook A in Workbook B while also filtering your results based on specific conditions.

The Challenge

You’ve been trying to utilize VLOOKUP in conjunction with IMPORTRANGE and QUERY, but you might not be getting the expected results. Let’s break down the problem:

Aim: Perform a VLOOKUP to find information in another workbook.

Funtionality: Use IMPORTRANGE to bring in data from the external workbook.

Filtering: You need to filter your results based on a criterion within Workbook B, specifically returning data only if Column 24 contains "FinishProduct."

Here’s what you started with:

You realized there are duplicate entries and needed a conditional filter based on a specific column in Workbook B.

The Solution

To tackle this problem effectively, we'll leverage a combination of the IMPORTRANGE, QUERY, and VLOOKUP functions. Let’s break this down into manageable steps.

Step 1: Using IMPORTRANGE

IMPORTRANGE allows you to pull data from one workbook into another. The syntax requires you to specify the workbook URL and the range of cells you want to import. For example:

Step 2: Filtering with QUERY

To filter the data that you just imported, use the QUERY function. You can structure a query string to extract only the rows where Column 22 has the value "FinishProduct".

Here’s how you write the query for filtering:

Step 3: Performing VLOOKUP with Filtered Data

Now that we have the filtered dataset from the query, you can utilize the VLOOKUP function to look up the required value. Combine the QUERY inside the VLOOKUP like this:

How It Works Together

IMPORTRANGE: Pulls all the data from Workbook B.

QUERY: Applies a filter to extract only the rows of interest ("FinishProduct").

VLOOKUP: Searches for the value in A2 within this filtered dataset and returns the corresponding value from the 27th column.

Conclusion

By combining VLOOKUP, IMPORTRANGE, and QUERY, you can effectively filter and retrieve information across workbooks in Google Sheets. If you are still facing issues, double-check your ranges and ensure that all permissions for data sharing between the workbooks are correctly set up.

Feel free to experiment with these functions, and soon you’ll be using them fluently in your data analysis tasks!
