Notes

Embedding query subsets of google spreadsheets in OWW

• Spreadsheet itself: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AjO_Nq8pNHiOdF9MWE01Zl9wRnhrOXAwZEZ3WHAwY0E&hl=en
• URL to get the subset shown above: http://spreadsheets.google.com/tq?tqx=out:html&tq=select%20B,C,D,E%20where%20B%20contains%20'2010-08-02'&key=t_LXM5f_pFxk9p0dFwXp0cA#gid=0
• the where clause can contain:
  • contains, matches, <, >, =, !
  • Select by name (case sensitive); 'matches' must match exactly, 'contains' is a free text search
• Useful post: http://blog.ouseful.info/2009/05/18/?orderby=ID&order=ASC
• Query builder: http://ouseful.open.ac.uk/datastore/gspreadsheetdb2.php
• To filter on dates, use this format: where A contains '2010-08-02'

Relevant background life
