Its syntax is =QUERY(data, query, headers). For data, put the ranges inside curly brackets. The query argument is a query string in double quotation marks, such as &#8220;select * where Col1 is not null&#8221;, which filters the combined rows. You can leave out query and headers to return every row, as in this example.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> Click the first empty cell next to or below your data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> Type =QUERY, an opening parenthesis, and a curly bracket. Then enter each range as the tab name, an exclamation mark, and the cell range. Separate the ranges with a comma to place them side by side, or with a semicolon to stack them one under another.

If you\u2019re a manager, you might need to collect data from colleagues&#8217; personal files or multiple departments. Too many people working in one spreadsheet can be messy, and administrators often need to keep data separated for data protection reasons.<\/p>\n<p>As well as data integrity and privacy issues, you don&#8217;t want one single file to become too large. Huge spreadsheets with multiple tabs are hard to navigate and easy to get lost in. Because it&#8217;s online software, the performance of Google Sheets may also be limited by your internet connection, and each file has a size limit of 5 million cells.<\/p>\n<p>Combining data from multiple Google Sheets into one sheet can be tedious and time-consuming. Copy-pasting is a risky way to merge spreadsheets. As well as being slow, it&#8217;s prone to manual errors. <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/docs\/answer\/3093340?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ImportRange<\/a> can work well inside one file, but if you&#8217;ve ever tried to use it to consolidate data from multiple Google Sheets files, you&#8217;ll know that it can generate errors.<\/p>\n<h2>Merge multiple Google Sheets into one automatically<\/h2>\n<p>A more reliable alternative to copy-pasting, ImportRange, or coding is Sheetgo: a no-code automation tool for spreadsheets.
