QUERY (Google Sheets)
QUERY is a Google Sheets superpower: filter, group, and sort data with a SQL-style string. There is no direct Excel equivalent — FormulaCraft suggests SUMIFS/FILTER instead when you target Excel.

- 2The query string filters where B = Sales and sums C grouped by A.
- 31 tells QUERY there is one header row.
