Excel Array Formula implementation guide with Data Validation Changes
Does anyone know how to This might be a silly question, but I've looked through the documentation and I'm still confused about I'm working with an scenario where an array formula does not seem to refresh when I change the selection in a data validation dropdown. I'm using Excel 365 and have a dynamic range that relies on another cell's selection. Here's the setup: - Cell A1 has a data validation dropdown that lets you select a category (e.g., 'Fruits', 'Vegetables'). - Cell B1 contains an array formula with `=FILTER(DataRange, CategoryRange=A1)` that should display items based on the selection in A1. The question arises when I change the selection in A1; the array formula in B1 does not update until I manually hit F9 to refresh it. I've tried using `Application.Volatile` in a VBA function I wrote to force a recalculation, but it still doesn't work as expected. Here’s the VBA code I attempted: ```vba Function GetFilteredItems() As Variant Application.Volatile GetFilteredItems = Application.WorksheetFunction.Filter(DataRange, CategoryRange = Range("A1")) End Function ``` After implementing this, I still see the previous result until I force a refresh. I've also ensured that the ranges in the FILTER function are defined correctly and that my data validation list is updating as intended. Is there a way to ensure the array formula updates automatically without having to manually trigger a refresh? Any help would be greatly appreciated. My development environment is macOS. Thanks in advance! Is there a better approach? I'd really appreciate any guidance on this. Could this be a known issue? I'm open to any suggestions.
