Parse error from using .setValue or .SetFormula to set a formula containing a query function that has multiple single and double quotes

Question

I have a formula in sheet A using new google sheets that works fine; it contains a query function that filters the dates based on values in sheet B(\'Settings\') and data in

Answer 1

Too easy! instead of '+ just use \ to escape the single quotes in my formula so answer is: range.setFormula('=QUERY(Data!A1:G,"select G, sum(E) where F is not null AND toDate(D)>= date \'" & text(\'Settings\'!B5, "yyyy-MM-dd")&"\' and toDate(D)<= date \'" & text(\'Settings\'!B6, "yyyy-MM-dd")&"\'group by G pivot B label G\'Pivot table for data in range\'")\');
