Thumbs up Answer: How to Use Relative Reference in Array Formula

  1. Select the range of cells where you want to enter the array formula (in this case, C1:C5).
  2. Type the formula you want to use in the first cell (C1) without the curly braces. In this case, it would be =SUM(LEN(A1:A5)).
  3. Instead of pressing Enter, press Control + Enter. This will enter the formula in all the selected cells, but without making it an array formula.
  4. Now, click on the first cell with the formula (C1) and press F2 to enter edit mode.
  5. Change the cell references in the formula to be relative references. In this case, change A1:A5 to A2:A6.
  6. Press Control + Enter to confirm the formula. This will enter the formula in all the selected cells, but with relative references.
