Excel - Passing a cell containing an array formula as input to a function in another cell
Question
I was wondering if in excel there was a way to do this:
- In cell A1 write an array function (eg
INDEX(some_array,r_n,0)where some_array is a square NxM array and r_n is the row number, commited using Ctrl+Space+Enter) - In cell B2 calculate the i-th percentile of array in cell A1. I would like to write something like
PERCENTILE.INC(A1,i/100), which, alas, does not work, returning the first element of the array in A1.
Currrently I'm passing the formula in A1 to percentile, but it's a bit cumbersome. Thanks in advance

Currently there seems to exist a functionality for this, in case someone stumbles upon the same problem as I did.
Making use of the spill range functionality, you just need to append the '#' char to the address of the first cell of the spill range you want to use as part of some function, eg 'A1#'.
