Google Sheets wasn't built for complex data operations. Joining tables? Not possible. Window functions? They don't exist. Bulk updates require manually editing hundreds of rows.
SheetQuery turns your spreadsheets into a SQL database. Run SELECT queries—join data from multiple sheets or apply window functions for running totals and rankings. CTEs help when queries get complicated. UPDATE statements handle bulk modifications with complex filtering and dynamic calculations. DELETE works with multi-condition WHERE clauses. INSERT merges data from several sheets at once.
Data analysts who've outgrown spreadsheet formulas get proper SQL syntax. No database migration needed. You're tracking sales across regional sheets and need to calculate each rep's performance percentile while filtering by territory and date range? SheetQuery handles that query in seconds.
The fetch() function pulls JSON from any REST API directly into your sheets. JSON extraction functions parse nested data structures. Date and datetime functions work like they do in proper SQL databases. Complex WHERE clauses support multiple AND/OR conditions—exactly as you'd expect.
Pricing runs two cents per query. One query equals one credit. No monthly subscription locks you in. You pay when you actually use it.
The pay-per-query model works great for occasional power users. Running dozens of queries daily could get expensive though. Still—for anyone who's hit the ceiling with VLOOKUP and pivot tables—SheetQuery delivers real database functionality without leaving Google Sheets.
