    Ctrl + Shift + Enter is no longer needed for array formulas

    Hi everyone,

    I always remember to use Ctrl+Shift+Enter for array formulas. But I tried some array formulas today. I noticed the results are the same if I use ctrl+shift+enter or not. Do you know what happened to array formuals in Excel?

    Presumably, you are now using a more recent version of Excel?

    Both 2021 & 365 are dynamically aware & no longer need array entry.

    Never know that. It looks like this is a big change for array formulas.

    It si, but a lot of them can now spill so you only need the formula in one cell.

    In Office 365 it's not necessary Ctrl + Shift + Enter for array formula.

    You have to use C+S+E in Excel 2019 and older. In Excel 2021 and 365 it is not necessary.
