Dynamic Array Functions

Syntax of some DA functions

1. Filter 
   =FILTER(your data, conditions, if empty value)
2. Unique 
   =UNIQUE(list, data is across the columns?, do you want values occurring just once?)
3. Sort 
   =SORT(list, column number, ascending or descending order, do you want to sort across the columns instead?)
4. Sortby 
   =SORTBY(list, criteria list 1, sort order 1, criteria list 2, sort order 2…)
5. Sequence 
   =SEQUENCE(row count, column count, starting number, step by)
6. Randarray 
   =RANDARRAY(row count, column count, starting number, ending number, do you want just random integers?)

How Dynamic Arrays interact with other Excel Functions

1. Spill Ranges in other formulas: We can refer to spill ranges using the # operator.
2. Named Ranges and DA functions: We can create named ranges that refer to spill range, and we can also use named ranges inside DA functions.
3. Using DA functions with named ranges: We can solve some challenging problems using DA functions combined with the array processing power of INDEX.
4. Conditional Formatting Dynamic Arrays: Conditional formatting does not recognize dynamic spill ranges.
5. Dynamic Arrays in Data Validation: We can use the # operator to refer to dynamic array range with data validation rules.
6. Charting & Dynamic Arrays: Excel charts don’t recognize spill range operators.

FAQs

1. Is XLOOKUP() a dynamic array function?
   Yes, XLOOKUP() is a dynamic array function.
    
2. What Excel versions support dynamic arrays?
   Excel 365 and Excel 2021.
    
3. What is Excel Dynamic Array?
   Dynamic Array Functions allows formulae to return multiple results to a range of cells based on a single formula entered in a cell.
    
4. How do we select dynamic range in Excel?
   A way to create a dynamic named range with a formula is to use the OFFSET function along with the COUNTA function.
    
5. Difference between XLOOKUP and VLOOKUP functions.
   The range for VLOOKUP includes the entire column, but for XLOOKUP, it splits the referenced fields into a range to search and find the value.
