Sum error Excel 2016 (Insider) Windows 10 Pro x64 (1809)
Sergei,
I'm not sure what, if anything, is broken but I've found that I make the formulas work properly if I enter them as if they were the old Array Formulas by Entering the formulas into the top row, where I want it, and then using CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER. The formulas work and spill perfectly.
If I simply enter the formula in a blank cell, with sufficient rows for the spill, it spills correctly but the last entry is a 0 (Zero) which overwrites the "TOTALS" constant.
As I understand it you should NOT have to do that with the new Array Functions but that's the only way I can make them work.
Thanks,
Hear from you soon with any ideas I hope.

Hi John,
I guess an issue is not with UNIQUE but with using ROW() within your formula. Let consider this simple sample where we try to replace the value in row 3 on another value.
With
=IF(ROW()=3,-1,SEQUENCE(3,1))
my understanding is what the formula evaluates ROW() for the first cell in which you type it and after that keeps it static. Thus we always have condition 2=3 and formula returns the spill without any changes.
If the same formula convert to CSE one, ROW() will be evaluating for each element of the array and we receive desired result.
Same as if we generates an array not by CSE formula, but using an array in first parameter to compare with 3 - with DA experience each element will be compared and we have correct result.
Another story is what Formula Evaluate shows above not in very correct way.
Sample is attached.
