I'm building up a spreadsheet, for the IRS. I keep adding chunks from different years and different accounts. The sort has worked every time, except for this last time. After I added a new chunk of about 300 lines, the sort function stops saying it cannot change an array. I didn't realize I had created an array. I've been using Excel and its predecessor for about 40 years and have never used the array function. So I'm not sure how I might have added it.
I was thinking I would take out this last chunk and see if the sort works then. Then I can re-import the data, and hope I didn't do it with an array.
I'd welcome more a more direct way, if there is one.
Thanks!

Your idea of removing the last "chunk" (it's not often we see such technical language used 😉 ] is a good one, get back to when the Sort was working...and start over. How are you doing the import? What's the nature of the source? Can you bring it in as a CSV file instead of XLS or XLSX?
