I have a formula in a Google sheet, it works great but the way I'm writing it I'll be here for years as I still need about 200 more IFs! So is there a shorter way of writing this?

=IF(A4=5191,QUERY('Calibrated Gauges'!A2:Z,"select B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R where A='5191'")
,IF(A4=78523,QUERY('Calibrated Gauges'!A2:Z,"select B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R where A='78523'")
,IF(A4="8A06903",QUERY('Calibrated Gauges'!A2:Z,"select B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R where A='8A06903'")
,IF(A4=979,QUERY('Calibrated Gauges'!A2:Z,"select B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R where A='979'")
,IF(A4=988915,QUERY('Calibrated Gauges'!A2:Z,"select B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R where A='988915'")

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Does this work?
Code:
=QUERY('Calibrated Gauges'!A2:Z,"select B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R where A='"&A4&"'")

Yes it does. I knew I was over thinking it lol. I have almost the same formula elsewhere in the same sheet. Thank you for the reply!
