Guidelines and Examples of Array Formulas

Array formulas are complex formulas in Excel that perform calculations across multiple cells using Ctrl-Shift-Enter. They allow users to count characters, sum values that meet conditions like being the lowest or between boundaries, and sum every nth value in a range. There are two types: those that generate a single result and those that calculate multiple results. Some functions return or require arrays of values.

Array formulas are powerful formulas that enable you

to perform complex calculations that often can’t be


done with standard worksheet functions. They are also
referred to as "Ctrl-Shift-Enter" or "CSE" formulas,
because you need to press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to enter
them. You can use array formulas to do the seemingly
impossible, such as

 Count the number of characters in a range of cells.


 Sum numbers that meet certain conditions, such as the
lowest values in a range or numbers that fall between
an upper and lower boundary.
 Sum every nth value in a range of values.

Excel provides two types of array formulas: Array


formulas that perform several calculations to generate
a single result and array formulas that calculate
multiple results. Some worksheet functions return
arrays of values, or require an array of values as an
argument. For more information, see Guidelines and
examples of array formulas.
