How to Use Parentheses to Combine Multiple Criteria
Parentheses in logical operators are used to control the order of evaluating conditions, ensuring that specific conditions are assessed first, which can impact the final outcome of a logical expression.
Consider the same list of sales data used in the Logical Operator section. Using parentheses can lead to different outcomes if the conditions after “NOT” are enclosed like this:
=QUERY(A:C, "SELECT * WHERE NOT (B < 1000 AND C='May')")
The result differs from not using parentheses. In this case, one row is missing from May: Nishi’s sales of 680 in May. This happens because logical operators grouped both conditions with parentheses.
When parentheses are used in a WHERE clause, the QUERY function first checks the innermost parentheses. In our example, the innermost condition (B < 1000 AND C=’May’) matches May sales row. However, when “NOT” is added outside, it means the opposite. Consequently, all other rows are selected, and Nishi’s sales are excluded.
