Excel online query function

Copper Contributor

Hello

I'm using 2 excel online separate files. One is admin sheet and then on other excel file is public sheet. I want to select few columns from admin sheet and display them on that public excel file. I'm using importrange so I get in every data in and then I use query function to select the columns.

 

I have a problem when query function doesn't display proper values in certain columns . For example I have true / false value and under that I have this "-" value which is not displayed after query but in importrange it is.
Second problem I am having is when I want to change those true / false values by inserting checkboxes so it is displayed more nicely. Sometimes I get query #ref error because excel will apparently think checkbox is separate value but it works just fine in other columns.

What exactly do you mean under "query function"? Better to illustrate with sample file.

@Sergei Baklan sorry for late late reply. 

 

As you can see I am getting the information from another sheet and it doesn't allow me to put in the tick box over specific collum

That's Google Sheets, not Excel, correct?

Correct. I see my mistake there.
