I've been a user switching between google sheet and ms excel.
I notice that the google sheet and ms excel treat the array formula differently.
In google sheet, if i have an array formula like A1:A3+B1:B3, all i need to do is select the cell C1 and input that formula then, press ctrl shift enter for "arrayformula(...)", then the result will appears in C1:C3. I don't need to care about the dimension of my array as long as there are blank cells for the result.
But in ms excel, doing the same thing need me to FIRST selecting the cell ranging from C1:C3 then, pressing ctrl shift enter for array formula.
My point is, is there any tricks to avoid step "selecting the output range C1:C3" ?
I googled on the internet,
The site shows the same experience like i have.
Thanks for any reply.
