Examples
Return all columns:
SELECT * FROM Spreadsheet1_Sheet1
Rename a column:
SELECT "Column1" AS MY_Column1 FROM Spreadsheet1_Sheet1
Search data:
SELECT * FROM Spreadsheet1_Sheet1 WHERE Column2 = 'Bob';
The Google Sheets APIs support the following operators in the WHERE clause: =.
SELECT * FROM Spreadsheet1_Sheet1 WHERE Column2 = 'Bob';
Sort a result set in ascending order:
SELECT Id, Column1 FROM Spreadsheet1_Sheet1 ORDER BY Column1 ASC
