How do you enter an array formula?

After you enter your formula, press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER at the same time. You will see the array formula displayed with brackets ({}) around it. If you type the same text, including the brackets and press just ENTER, you will not tell Excel the formula is an array and may display only text.
