Beginner Basics to rename columns and formatting query function results
This tutorial is on how to use labels to rename column headers and format values returned from the query function in Google Sheets.
Google Sheets provides a powerful function called QUERY that enables users to extract data from a dataset based on specific criteria. However, sometimes the column headers returned by the query function may not be descriptive or user-friendly, making it difficult to understand the data.
To solve this problem, you can use labels to rename column headers. This will help you to quickly identify the data you are working with and make it easier to analyze.
Once you have renamed your column headers, you may also want to format the values returned by the query function to make them easier to read. You can do this using the Format menu in Google Sheets.
To format values, we add the word FORMAT at the end of the SELECT STATEMENT, the column we want to format, and in quotes the format that we want.
In summary, using labels to rename column headers and formatting values returned by the query function can help you to better understand and analyze data in Google Sheets. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you can quickly and easily apply these techniques to your own datasets.
