The ARRAYFORMULA function is a powerful tool in Google Sheets that allows you to apply a formula to an entire column or range of cells without having to copy and paste the formula into each cell manually. Here are the steps to use the ARRAYFORMULA function:

  1. Select the cell where you want to enter the formula.
  2. Type =ARRAYFORMULA followed by the formula you want to apply to the range of cells.
  3. Enter the range of cells you want to apply the formula to.
  4. Press Enter to apply the formula to the entire range of cells.

For example, if you want to multiply the values in cells A1:A10 by 2, you can use the following formula:

=ARRAYFORMULA(A1:A10*2)

The ARRAYFORMULA function is especially useful when you are working with large datasets and need to perform the same calculation on multiple rows or columns. It can save you a lot of time and effort by automating the process for you.
