In the world of Excel formulas, the term "array formula" is probably responsible for more confusion than just about any other concept. This is because the definition of an array formula has become mixed up with the requirement to enter some array formulas in a special way, with control + shift + enter.

Your website is an absolute gem! I recently had to learn Excel after using statistical software. I even recruited my husband to help me find some ADHD-friendly Excel tutorials and all we found was a bunch of fluff. I stumbled on exceljet and after one tutorial was sold; for the first time I didn't feel more annoyed than informed at the end of a tutorial. Everything is logically organized on here and the instructions are thorough without any bull. -Ruby
I appreciate all the help your website provides, it has definitely been essential to me in the last couple of months. -Myuran
I have been considered a spreadsheet expert for many years, but I believe my total Excel knowledge is likely less than 30% of what I've seen in your weekly e-mails and website...In today's fast-paced office, when I need to know "how", ExcelJet is absolutely the best resource I've found for keeping my skills up-to-date without spending much time searching for answers. Thank you!!! -Suzanne
