4) A worksheet array formula is a formula that contains at least one operation that delivers an array of
43 answers rather than a single answer.
44 Divide by 2
45 Numbers Divide by 2
46 10 5 C46: =B46:B47/F44 = {10;8}/2 = {5;4}
47 8 4
math operation delivers an array of answers and
48
therefore this is an array formula
49 List Count Unique:
50 Quad 2 C50: =ROWS(UNIQUE(B50:B52)) = ROWS({"Quad";"Aspen"}) = 2
51 Aspen
52 Quad UNIQUE function delivers an array of answers into ROWS
function and therefore this is an array formula
53
54
55 5) An aggregate operation operates on an array of items, but delivers a single answer.
56
57 Numbers Add Numbers
NOT an array
58 10 18 D58: =SUM(B58:B59) = 18
formula!!
59 8
60 The SUM aggregate operation delivers a single answer.
61 SUM and all other aggregate functions can not deliver an array of answers.
62
63
64 6) The final answer from an array formula can either be a range of spilled values or a single value .
65
When the last operation in an array formula is an array operation, the formula delivers a range of spilled
66 values into the worksheet and is called a dynamic spilled array formula.
67
68 Numbers Divide by 2 Divide by 2
69 10 5 C69: =B69:B70/G68
70 8 4
71
dynamic spilled array formula
72
When the last operation in an array formula is an aggregate operation, the formula delivers a single value
73 and is called a scalar array formula.
74
array operation makes it an array formula
75 Total
76 9 C76: =SUM(B69:B70/G68)
77
78 scalar array formula SUM to deliver one answer makes it a scalar array formula
79
80 7) When a formula operation delivers an array of answers, the operation is called an array operation.
81 The array of answers generated by an array operation is called a resultant array.
82 resultant array
83 C46: =B46:B47/F44 = {10;8}*2 = {5;4}
84
85 C50: =ROWS(UNIQUE(B50:B52)) = ROWS({"Quad";"Aspen"}) = 2

3 9) Array operations that are possible in a worksheet are:
1] Direct array operation: math, comparative, join operator works directly against an array of values,
4 such as:
5
6 Quad Cost Aspen Cost
7 10 8
8
9 Quad Cost*2 Aspen Cost*2 Quad Cost>=2 Aspen Cost>=2 Quad Cost&2 Aspen Cost&2
10 20 16 TRUE TRUE 102 82

14 C10: =C7:D7*2 E10: =C7:D7>=2 G10: =C7:D7&2
15 Calculation steps: Calculation steps: Calculation steps:
16 {10,8}*2 {10,8}>=2 {10,8}&2
17 {10*2,8*2} {10>=2,8>=2} {10&2,8&2}
18 {20,16} {TRUE,TRUE} {“102”,”82”}
19
2] Function argument array operation: function argument expects a single value, and you give it an
array of values. A function argument array operation forces the function to deliver an array of answers,
20 such as:
21
22 Tax Rate 10.5%
23
24 Employee Gross Pay ($) Tax ($) ROUND:
25 Chantel 2,379.09 249.8 E25: =ROUND(D25:D27*D22,2) =
26 Kamala 2,630.57 276.21 Calculation steps:
27 Sioux 1,884.75 197.9 ROUND( {249.804;276.209;197.898} ,2)
28 {249.80;276.21;197.90}
29
30 List 1 List 2 Item in List 2, XMATCH:
31 Gigi Chantel #N/A E31: =XMATCH(D31:D34,C31:C33)
32 Ty Gigi 1 Calculation steps:
33 Sioux Ty 2 {#N/A;1;2;#N/A}
34 Miki #N/A
35
3] Array function operation: functions such as UNIQUE and are programmed to deliver an array of
36 answers.
37
38 No. Products Unique List: UNIQUE:
39 1 Quad Quad F39: =UNIQUE(D39:D42)
40 2 Carlota Carlota Calculation steps:
41 3 Quad {"Quad";"Carlota"}
42 4 Quad
43
44 SEQUENCE:
45 C39: =SEQUENCE(4)
46 Calculation steps:
47 {1;2;3;4}

10) Dynamic Spilled Array Formula Notes:

When you create a dynamic spilled array formula:
1. The formula lives in the top cell.
2. Spilled values spill down and to the right.
3. To edit a dynamic spilled array formula, you edit the formula in the top left cell.
4. Cells below the top cell do not contain values. All values emanate from the top cell.
5. Even though the values below the top cell do not live in the cell, you can refer to a value in
any of the spilled range with a cell reference.
6. If a cell value is in the path of the spilled values you will get a #SPILL! error
7. You refer to a spilled range of values using the top cell address and the spilled range
operator: # symbol, like E5#
8. The most amazing characteristic of dynamic spilled array formulas is that when the source
data changes and the resultant array expands (or contracts), the spilled range dynamically
updates.
9. Not all worksheet functions can spill results. Aggregate functions like SUM, AVERAGE, AND,
OR, and SUMPRODUCT cannot deliver spilled arrays.
10. Spilled array formulas are not allowed in Excel Tables.
11. Some function arguments do not allow function argument array operations, such as:
* Range argument of the functions SUMIF, COUNTIF, and AVERAGEIF.
* Criteria_range argument of the functions SUMIFS, COUNTIFS, AVERAGEIFS, MINIFS, &
MAXIFS.
* First argument of the functions SUMIFS, AVERAGEIFS, MINIFS, and MAXIFS COUNTIFS.
* Lookup_value argument in VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP.
12. Almost all array operations involve operations on multiple formula inputs, such as
C5:C7*D9, where a column of values is multiplied by a single value. The exceptions are array
functions like SEQUENCE, RANDARRAY, and MUNIT, which are each programmed to
generate an array of answers from a single input (for example, =SEQUENCE(3) = {1;2;3}).

Create Arrays of Numbers:
Creates an array of random numbers based on a min and max
number using a uniform distribution. If you enter just a row RANDARRAY([rows],[columns],[min],[max],
17 RANDARRAY
number, it generates an array of numbers that span from zero [whole_number])
to one, each with 15 digits.

Generates a sequence of numbers in a row, a column, or a

18 SEQUENCE SEQUENCE(rows, [columns], [start], [step])
table, based on a start value and an increment value (step).
Statistics and Matrix Algebra:
Counts how many values are in each category, given the upper
limit for each category, and returns the counts in a vertical array
19 FREQUENCY that is one more row than there are upper limits. The extra row FREQUENCY(data_array, bins_array)
is an extra category that includes any values that might be
greater than the last upper limit.
Calculates predicted exponential growth by using existing data.
GROWTH returns the y-values for a series of new x-values that
you specify by using existing x-values and GROWTH(known_y's, [known_x's],
20 GROWTH
y-values. You can also use the GROWTH worksheet function to [new_x's], [const])
fit an exponential curve
to existing x-values and y-values.
Returns a set of statistics for single or multiple regression, using
21 LINEST LINEST(known_y's, [known_x's], [const], [stats])
the least-squares method for best fitting data to a straight line.

In regression analysis, calculates an exponential curve that fits

22 LOGEST LOGEST(known_y's, [known_x's], [const], [stats])
the data and returns an array of values that describes the curve.
Returns the matrix product of two arrays. Number columns of
first array must equal number of rows in second array. The
23 MMULT MMULT(array1, array2)
resultant array is the number of rows in first array by the
number of columns in the second array.
Calculates the mode for a set of numbers, where the mode is
24 MODE.MULT the number that occurs most frequently. If there are multiple MODE.MULT((number1,[number2],...)
modes, MODE.MULT lists all modes in a vertical array.
25 MUNIT Returns the unit matrix, given a single number. MUNIT(dimension)
Using the least-squares method for best-fitting data to a
straight line, returns an array of y-values, given these formula TREND(known_y's, [known_x's],
26 TREND
inputs: known y-values, known x-values, and an array of x- [new_x's], [const])
values used to estimate the array of y-values.
Text:
Splits text by using column and/or row delimiters. 5th argument
TEXTSPLIT(text,col_delimiter,[row_delimiter],

can be designed to deliver a single value or an array of values.
Can be used with Defined Names to define re-usable worksheet LAMBDA([parameter1, parameter2, …,]
LAMBDA
function, or can be used in the six LAMBDA helper functions: calculation)
BYCOL, BYROW, MAKEARRAY, MAP, SCAN and REDUCE to
create a new function in the worksheet.
LAMBDA Helper
No.
Array Function Description Arguments
Iterates a function defined by the LAMBDA function over an
29 BYCOL specified array, making a function calculation for each column BYCOL (array, LAMBDA(column))
and returning an array of the results.
Iterates a function defined by the LAMBDA function over an
30 BYROW specified array, making a function calculation for each row and BYROW(array, LAMBDA(row))
returning an array of the results.
Returns a calculated array of a specified row and column size,
31 MAKEARRAY MAKEARRAY(rows, cols, LAMBDA(row, col))
by applying a function defined by the LAMBDA function.
Iterates a function defined by the LAMBDA function over an
specified set of arrays (1 or more), making a function calculation
32 MAP for each cell in the corresponding arrays and then returning an MAP (array1, lambda_or_array<#>)
array of the results. Last argument can contain another array to
be mapped.
Scans an array by applying a LAMBDA to each value and returns
SCAN ([initial_value], array,
33 SCAN an array that has each intermediate value. For example, it can
lambda(accumulator, value))
create a spilled running total.
LAMBDA Helper
No. Non-Array
Functions Description Arguments
Checks whether the value in a LAMBDA is missing and returns
ISOMITTED ISOMITTED(argument)
TRUE or FALSE.
Reduces an array to an accumulated value by applying a
REDUCE([initial_value], array,
REDUCE LAMBDA to each value and returning the last value in the
lambda(accumulator, value))
accumulator array.
