January 2026

Querri’s January 2026 release represents a major evolution of the platform with over 450 commits introducing new features, significant performance improvements, and enhanced user experience across the entire application.

What’s New

Agentic File Preprocessing

Uploaded files now “just work” in far more cases. A new AI-powered preprocessing system automatically detects and handles the formatting quirks common in real-world data exports.

Querri detecting multiple embedded tables in an Excel sheet

What gets handled automatically:

Metadata rows and report headers at the top of files
Footer rows with totals and summaries
Non-standard delimiters (tabs, semicolons, pipes)
Blank rows and columns scattered throughout
Multiple tables embedded in a single Excel sheet
JSON data nested inside wrapper objects

Footer rows with totals are automatically excluded

Footer detection is especially important for accurate analysis. When report exports include “Totals” rows, including them in a sum or average would double-count your data. Querri now automatically identifies and excludes these summary rows.

The preprocessing results are cached, so subsequent loads are instant. Files that previously required manual cleanup now load correctly on first upload.

Table Improvements

Data tables now include powerful new column controls for sorting and formatting.

Column Sorting

Click any column header menu to sort your data ascending or descending. No more needing to ask the AI to sort your results—just click and sort directly from the table UI.

Decimal Precision Control

A long-awaited feature: you can now control decimal places per column. Click the column menu and adjust the “Decimals” setting to show exactly the precision you need—whether that’s whole numbers for counts or five decimal places for rates and percentages. Your preferences are preserved as you work with the data.

Additional Column Controls

Move Left / Move Right - Reorder columns without re-running your analysis
Pin - Keep important columns visible while scrolling
Hide Column - Temporarily hide columns you don’t need

Export to Google Drive & Querri Library

Querri project outputs can now flow directly into Google Workspace or back into Querri itself, enabling powerful automated workflows.

Export settings with Google Drive and Querri Library destinations

Google Drive Integration

Export your analysis results directly to Google Drive on scheduled automation runs. Your Querri outputs become Google Sheets that colleagues can access, comment on, and use in their own workflows—without needing Querri access. This makes Querri a natural part of your existing Google Workspace automation.

Querri Library

Save outputs to the Querri Library to use them as inputs for new projects. This creates a virtuous cycle: one project’s results become another project’s source data, enabling multi-stage analysis pipelines and reusable datasets across your organization.
