Google Sheets Query ignoring rules randomly, is not null? - mysql

Question

struggling to understand what is happening here.
I have the following query in google sheets:
=query(datarange, "select AW where AX >= 0 AND "&I4&" is not null", 0)
I4 in this instance is returning a column value, for example BH.
The data contains 0, 1, 2,3 and so on.
This query is working perfectly a lot of the time, but sometimes it returns all the results but ignores the 0s. I need it to return all values that are not null.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I think the issue is the mix of data type in columns ( - in place of 0).
Looking at the 'Clark, Jordan' tab as an example, try the following:
Remove the QUERY formulas from cells A9, B9 and C9.
Put the following in A9:
=arrayformula({Disposals!A7:B12,value(substitute(Disposals!I7:I12,"-",0))})
You can always wrap a QUERY round this array if you need to. For instance, you could sort the array using:
=query(arrayformula({Disposals!A7:B12,value(substitute(Disposals!I7:I12,"-","0"))}),"order by Col3" ,0)
It depends if you want a separate column on the right for 'Reverse'.
Th above is probably going to be easier to manage than trying to convert '-' to 0 on the 'Behinds' tab.
The reason that the formula in cell L10 on 'Dahlhaus, Luke' is not working is because on 'Behinds' tab, your formula in cell BH7 is converting the hyphen to text '0'.
=if(L7 = "-", "0", L8) should be =if(L7 = "-", 0, L7)
However, this is a lot of manual work, having to use formula in every cell.
It would be more manageable to use =arrayformula(if(L7:L = "-", 0, L7:L)) in cell BH7 and remove all other formula below.
