It's a way to tell excel to treat the formula as an array formula.

(not much better than 'cause you do!, huh?)

This is an array formula. Hit ctrl-shift-enter instead of enter. If you do it
correctly, excel will wrap curly brackets {} around your formula. (don't type
them yourself.)

Adjust the range to match--but you can't use the whole column.

I got the logic correct. Can anyone help me?
