How to join tables using Query or Vlookup

问题

I have 2 sheets

people sheet has

[company    first_name  last_name   full_name   address_line1   address_city    address_state   address_zip address_country telephone   email   order_id    order_date  order_time  processor   order_type  order_currency  commission  campaign_id]

sales sheet has

[DATE   PROSPECT NAME   EMAIL ADDRESS   CONTACT METHOD  PRODUCT RESULT  NOTES ]

How do I make the report to generate when people.email = sales.EMAIL ADDRESS and display the records only if they match (Not all of sales sheet)

Report fields are

full_name
EMAIL ADDRESS
PRODUCT
commission

Please try to use basic formula for joining sheets + query to skip some rows.

Basic formula:

=FILTER({Sales!B14:B,Sales!C14:C,Sales!E14:E, vlookup(Sales!E14:E,{People!B2:B,People!D2:D},2,), Sales!F14:F},Sales!A14:A<>"")

The formula you need:

=QUERY(FILTER({Sales!B14:B,Sales!C14:C,Sales!E14:E, IFERROR(vlookup(Sales!E14:E,{People!B2:B,People!D2:D},2,), "do not show"), Sales!F14:F},Sales!A14:A<>""),"select * where Col4 <> 'do not show'")

How it works

It uses iferror(expression, "do not show") to replace #N/A error with the text "do not show".

Then it uses query to hide rows with value "do not show":

"select * where Col4 <> 'do not show'"

Basic formula and the question is here

Notes about usage:

1. Sales!B14:B,Sales!C14:C,Sales!E14:E are some columns you need to select first
2. IFERROR(vlookup(Sales!E14:E,{People!B2:B,People!D2:D},2,) will return column from "People", it is column People!D2:D. Please note that columns Sales!E14:E and People!B2:B are both containing a key, in the sample it is e-mail list.
3. Sales!F14:F is a column to return next.
4. filter condition Sales!A14:A<>"" is to skip empty rows from original sheet. You may also add other conditions into a filter.
5. query part will shorten the report and skip values where keys (emails) do not match. You may add other conditions into a query.

Note. Query language in Google Sheets does not have joins, and provided solution is a workaround. It shows how to make a join with a help of vlookup function in Sheets.

• The provided formula gathers rows from sheet "Sales" and makes vlookup to sheet "People". You also may want to make vice-versa report: collect data from "People" and 'vlookup` data from "Sales".

"Vice-versa" report:

=QUERY(FILTER({vlookup(People!B2:B ,{Sales!E14:E, Sales!B14:B, Sales!C14:C, Sales!E14:E},{2, 3, 4},), People!B2:B, IFERROR(vlookup(People!B2:B ,{Sales!E14:E, Sales!F14:F},2,),100500)},People!A2:A<>""),"select * where Col5 <> 100500")

note! In this formula used numeric value 100500 to skip values because query works with the single data type (number or text).
