If entered correctly, Excel with wrap the formula in braces (e.g. <strong>{<\/strong> and <strong>}<\/strong>). You do not type the braces in yourself. Once entered into the first cell correctly, they can be filled or copied down or right just like any other formula. Try and reduce your full-column references to ranges more closely representing the extents of your actual data.
