Are Dynamic Array Functions not Available to Microsoft 365 Mac Users?
I've been trying to use Dynamic arrays on a new computer (Mac), and I don't see any of the dynamic array functions available (such as SORT, FILTER, etc). Is there a setting that I have to enable ...
Maybe uninstall Excel and re-install. That's the only thing I could think of. Do you have just the one Mac under your subscription?
(I'm spoiled; have an older MacBook Air as well as the M1 Mini, both up-to-date with the same OS and current versions of Excel; and both have all the Dynamic Array functions. But if you were to have another Mac under your subscription, it would certainly warrant checking to see whether the other one does have access to those functions.)
Doesn't make sense to me. I too am on a Mac M1 mini, Excel version 16.67, Microsoft 365 Subscription, same MacOS as yours. And I do get all those functions. When you say you "don't see them" what are you saying? Have you tried entering a formula that incorporates FILTER?
Here: I'll attach a demo file that incorporates UNIQUE and FILTER....see if it works. Add rows to the table to see the consequences extended automatically.
Thanks Mathetes.
Very puzzling. When I open your spreadsheet, I see the Legacy functions "_xlfn._xlws.SORT", etc. Furthermore, when I search the available formulas, I don't see any of the Dynamic Array Functions.

- mathetes, that did the trick. Thank you so much for helping me out. You are a scholar and a gentleman!
