From: srg_rector on
I went to the page you linked:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/HA012260381033.aspx

The page referred to the command: enter the following array formula
(CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER)
However, nothing happened when I pressed those keys together. The formulas
could not be entered without Excel saying there were errors in them.

What is this (CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER) ???
