They are typically entered by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter instead of just Enter, and they are enclosed in curly braces {} to indicate that they are an array formula.

A.
Excel erases the original copy of the formula
B.
Excel edits cell references in the newly copied formula
C.

D.

Explanation When you copy a formula in Excel, the program automatically adjusts the cell references in the newly copied formula. This means that if the original formula referred to cells A1 and B1, for example, and you copy the formula to a different location, Excel will automatically update the formula to refer to the corresponding cells in the new location, such as A2 and B2. This feature is useful for quickly applying the same formula to multiple cells without having to manually update the cell references.
