array formulas

I'm crossposting this because there doesn't seem to be much activity in
the .macintosh newsgroup (other than spam). I'm using the Office 2011
for Mac version of Excel on a MacBook, and I'm having trouble creating
an array function for the MODE.MULT statistical function. The help
files say to use the control+shift+return keys to create the function,
but when I use those keys, nothing happens. I've tried following the
instructions on the help page at
<http://mac2.microsoft.com/help/office/14/en-us/excel/item/edc0671b-60d7-
4344-829b-36c2f7d215fa?category=b875ca71-c9e4-4da3-8cd1-bb8549610f18>
to no avail. I've tried to enter the function by hand as
{=MODE.MULT(arrary)} but Excel just stores that as a string not a
function. What am I doing wrong?

I hope this was clear.

Hi,
By hand, nothing works (normal) but have try easy array function like
TRANSPOSE to check if the pb comes from the combination keys Ctrl +
Shift + Enter or from your formula

Thank you for your prompt reply. I did finally figure out what I was
doing wrong; something stupid. I'm going to go sit in a closet for a
while.
