I have a Google sheets QUERY formula that pretty much works:
=query(data,"SELECT A WHERE B contains '"& A5 &"' LIMIT 10",1)
Essentially what the query is doing is, for the given data range, it selects a cell from column A where column B contains certain text, and I am limiting the output list of values returned to just 10 rows. That all works fine.
Where I encounter a problem is when the "& A5 &" above references an empty cell, I am still getting a list of values returned (and the wrong ones) when really, if an empty cell is referenced, the output should be nothing at all. So, if the "& A5 &" references an empty cell, I want NO output values returned at all i.e. blank results.
I've done a cursory google search on several different forums for possible solutions. Apparently 'is not null' might be a solution? Or <>'' ? But I'm not sure how to incorporate into the syntax.
Apologies I'm not a sheets/query/syntax expert and would be grateful for advice/suggestions.
