Requested behaviour:
I would like to create a search form in Google Sheets to query a table that I use as a database.
- The user should be able to query the table by multiple searches categories which the user can type into a cell of the sheet.
- If the user does not type in a search string, then all items should be displayed.
- Also, the user should be able to choose between an "including OR" and an "excluding AND" search.
The original table is on a different sheet than the search form. The final searchform should have more than 10 searchable categories.
Current State
Since the original table is in a different sheet than the search form, my idea has been to import the table by a dynamic query() function.
I created two input search input fields and a field where the user can switch between "OR" and "AND". I also created a query function that connects these 3 search terms. The change between "OR" and "AND" search works (with the first approach).
First approach:
=QUERY('Geschäftsvorfälle'!A2:AG1000, "select * WHERE A="&B4&" "&D1&" B='"&B5&"'")
Second approach:
=QUERY('Geschäftsvorfälle'!A2:AG1000, "select * " &if(B5="Alle",, "WHERE B='"&B5&"'") &if(B4="",, "WHERE A="&B4&""))
Issue
The first approach works with the "OR" search but gives an empty sheet back if I use multiple search terms. It also throws a "VALUE" error if leave one search term blank. The second approach throws a "VALUE" error if I use multiple search terms even there should be matching rows.
Is there a way to make this kind of a searchform work in Google Sheets? If yes is it possible to do it with query()
and how do I do it? Could you provide some example screenshots or code?
