Default FormulaArray and Formula prinicples

Hi Niklas,

FormulaArray enters the formula as an an array formula, Formula enters the
formula as an ordinary formula

As Chip Pearson says: Array Formulas are formulas that work with arrays,
instead of individual numbers, as arguments to the functions that make up
the formula.

For information on what array formulae are and what you can use them for

Hi
I have read everything I have found in MSDN after a search
on FormulaArray, but I still do not know what it is used
for. This is an example from MSDN:
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("E1:E3").FormulaArray = "=Sum
(R1C1:R3C3)"
but what is the differance between FormulaArray and
Formula:
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("E1:E3").Formula = "=Sum
(R1C1:R3C3)"
According to me they produce the same result. Can someone
explain the differnace and when I am supposed to use
FormulaArray?
Best regards
