Datetime comparison query

Question

I have an importrange array to get data from alot of sheets. I organise zhem into one list and then make calculations from this list.

SOURCE WORKBOOK (Tracker) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1huVGusrmhZ60zy9pg59PKN_yfL1XulwvLW5EWwHguvA/edit#gid=2007038591

sheet MODTANEWBIE_QUERY

formula #1 (add UID to DATE):

=IF($B$2="No","",ARRAYFORMULA({MODTANEWBIE_PER!A$3&"@"&QUERY(IMPORTRANGE(MODTANEWBIE_PER!$C$3,"Tracker!"&B$3&":"&B$4&MODTANEWBIE_PER!$D$3),"select Col1 WHERE Col1 = "&A2)}))

formula #2 (get data from specific column in #Tracker based on date)

=IF($B$2="No","",ARRAYFORMULA({QUERY(IMPORTRANGE(MODTANEWBIE_PER!$C$3,"Tracker!"&B$3&":"&B$4&MODTANEWBIE_PER!$D$3),"select Col1 WHERE Col1 = "&A2)}))

For some reason I an unable to query the importrange's Date that corresponds to the cell A2 in _QUERY sheet.

Please am I missing something silly? Is there a format problem?

Thanks alot for any help!

Answer 1

formula should be:

=IF($B$2="No",,ARRAYFORMULA(MODTANEWBIE_PER!A$3&"@"&QUERY(IMPORTRANGE(MODTANEWBIE_PER!$C$3,"Tracker!"&B$3&":"&B$4&MODTANEWBIE_PER!$D$3),"select Col1 WHERE Col2 = date '"&TEXT(A2, "e-m-d")&"'")))

however:

• tracker sheet does not contain today's date so A2 needs to be a valid date
• dates on tracker sheet are in column B so B4 cant be A
• query will then look for where Col2 where dates are
• and query is picky on dates if they are not in this format: yyyy-mm-dd
