Hi There,

Array-formulas are incredibly useful ... although most people are
impressed with the power of it, they have serious difficulties to
understand that they need to rebuild them with CTRL+SHIFT+Enter.

I would like to rebuild to be able to rebuild my Array-formulas
automatically. It jams though ..

Sub Rebuild_ArrayFormula()
Dim cells As Long, i As Long
Dim rngcel As Range

cells = Selection.Cells.Count
i = 1
For Each rngcel In Selection
rngcel.FormulaArray = rngcel.Formula '<====jams up here ...
Next
End Sub

This code, which is virtually identical you yours, ran for me:

Dim Cell As Range
For Each Cell In Selection
Cell.FormulaArray = Cell.Formula
Next

Hi Jim,

Thanks! Glad to hear that it works for you! At least I am going in the
right direction.
But would it surprise you if I say it jams now on?:

Cell.FormulaArray = Cell.Formula

;o)

I have no idea why it jams... (XL97-SR2)

If you have a multicell array formula, then it would cause problems if you
try to change a single cell in the array.

if it is a single cell array formula as tested by Jim, then, as he has
shown, it will work.

Tom raises a good point. If you're array entering a single (identical)
formula in a range I think you can forget the loop and just do:

Select.FormulaArray = ActiveCell.Formula

Thanks Tom,

Is it possible to adjust the code to make it work for multicell
array-formulas?

Sige,

Below is some code that I wrote a long time ago (as a learning exercise) that updates any type of
formula in a workbook by changing a string (which could be a cell address, etc) within the formula.

You can at least see how to check for different types of formulas, and how to re-enter them.

Hi Bernie,

Cool funtion!
I do not manage to replace a string in a multi cell array formula
though. :o(
