I'm trying to query a range of names in Google Spreadsheets. When I try and make a query like: =QUERY('QA Import'!A1:H, "select A where G = "&B2&"")
where B2
is John Doe
I get the error
Unable to parse query string for Function QUERY parameter 2: PARSE_ERROREncountered "Doe" at line 1, column 27. Was expecting one of: "group" … "pivot" … "order" … "skipping" … "limit" … "offset" … "label" … "format" … "options" … "and" … "or" … "*" … "+" … "-" … "/" … "%" …
How do I make a query that includes data with spaces?
