This is what I get as an error:

Unable to parse query string for Function QUERY parameter 2: NO_COLUMN: Col4

    Without being able to see the spreadsheet and test things, there is little we can tell you. I also don't understand why you'd have the same range stacked on top of itself, as shown in the formula post.

    Hi. Would you please edit your question to clarify: 1) Do you have access to this external spreadsheet? 2) what is the data layout in APP Directory!A2:U 3) As mentioned by @ErikTyler, why are you stacking the same data from the same sheet? 4) The error appears to be related to the second of the IMPORTRANGE data sets. If that parameter is removed from the formula, there is no error. Have you tried removing the second query range? 5) The data range (A2:U) covers 21 Columns, but your select and where condition cover only 4 Columns. Why didn't you declare a range of "A2:D"?

Try authorizing the importrange(). In the spreadsheet where you have the issue, put this in a free cell:

=importrange("1xWx1FRfvCfmvYi9Sb7Gh5lIAb-NAt0RG0h-e_HKmxjU", "A1")

Chances are that the new formula cell will display a red corner flag. Click it to authorize the import. After that, your existing formulas that use importrange() should start working as well. You can delete the new formula cell after that.
