I'm attempting to perform the following SQL command concept, but with two sheets in the same google spreadsheet document:

select * from table1
where column1 not in (select column1 from table2)

How do I achieve the same subquery concept using Google Spreasheet SQL?

Update

Here is a conceptual example of what I'd like to accomplish: I have a list of requirements on one sheet, and a requirement accomplishment log on another sheet. The log is simply the person's name and the name of the requirement (matching the other sheet). I'd like to see a report on all the requirements that do not exist in the requirement accomplishment log.

  • I'm sorry, but your comment makes no sense. My question is quite clear, and I do not "quote what does not work"... (Are you referring to an example of TSQL that I gave?) Do you want me to give you an example scenario, or was the purpose of your comment only to critique the question?

  • None yet. I'd settle for a kludge solution to achieve the same effect, if anyone has one.

Maybe something like this and with filtering to select "Not accomplished":

WA59459 example

The formula in C2 (copied down) is: 

=if(not(iserror(vlookup(B2,Sheet2!B:B,1,0))),"","Not accomplished")

    I hadn't seen your suggestion. While I'm not sure this does answer this specific much broader SQL question (where not in) it sure works for his example there, which is precisely what I wanted to do as well!
