Hi
I just watched a video and he said that to do

=A1:A6-B1:B6

I need to press CTRL+Shift+Enter

I selected cells C1:C6 then typed =A1:A6-B1:B6, in cells C1 and pressed Ctrl+Enter only and I got the right answers. So how come that works without using Array? I am a bit confused here.
Thank you.

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Excel is using an implied intersection, which you can Google to read about.
