Default Array-friendly functions

Hi,

I am developping some rather complex array formulas.

I've found out that, when composing them, some Excel functions are
array-friendly while others are not.

By array-friendly I understand a function that can be supplied with an
array and it returns an array.

For example, LOOKUP is array-friendly while VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP are
not. However, LOOKUP requires the lookup table to be sorted while the
other two don't.

Does anybody know where I could find a list of Excel functions that
are array-friendly? I am interested in common functions such as SUM,
SUMPRODUCT, COUNT, COUNTIF, SUMIF, INDEX, MATCH. In my models I prefer
to work with non volatile functions.

Thank you for your help

Vicente Soler

Hello Vicente,

Why do you restrict yourself to worksheet functions? You can build
your own, for example:
