When editing a record, do you have any components that are attempting to fill the column where you have the formula? If so, the formula will get overwritten.

If you are using array formulas in the first data row, then you run the risk of it being deleted. There are several posts in the past about how to handle this. Some people like to build their formula in the header row. I like to use 2 header rows. Either ways prevents a data row with formulas from being manipulated and deleted in the app.

Here is how to apply the formula in the header row.

So the “Normal” way of using an ARRAYFORMULA function is to use it in row 2 of a given column. You just have to be careful not to accidentally deleted it, or have a user delete it. So the next idea was to put it in row 2 but not put any other data in the row and then hide or minimize that row. Basically your data for the non ARRAYFORMULA columns would start on row 3. Then I saw the post I’ll l…

I use two rows for my head and freeze them both. This allows me to put my headings in row 1 and the formula in row 2.
