I have a column in Sheet1 that contains dates in format DD/MM/YYYY, like this:
12/10/2015
28/09/2015
28/09/2015
28/09/2015
28/09/2015
28/09/2015
28/09/2015
26/10/2015
26/10/2015
26/10/2015
26/10/2015
12/10/2015
12/10/2015
12/10/2015
And I'm trying to select with a QUERY all the entries that are less than 15/10/2015. I know there are other methods but I need to use SQL syntax (this is a simplified version of the big formula and I need SQL to make the other bits work).
=QUERY(IMPORTRANGE("BLABLABLA", "Sheet1!A2:A"),"SELECT * WHERE Col1 <= '15/10/2015'")
But the query completes with an empty response. I even tried to use the MM-DD-YYYY format in the QUERY or just "2016"—still an empty response.
My spreadsheet’s locale is UK.

Replace
with
That is, you need to provide date in ISO format and precede it with the keyword
date
so that it is parsed accordingly.
