How to Use Relative Reference in Array Formula

H

Hello, Experts,

I wanted to make array formula in multiple cells with relative
references, such as:

In cell C1: {=SUM(LEN(A1:A5))}
In cell C2: {=SUM(LEN(A2:A6))}
In cell C3: {=SUM(LEN(A3:A7))}
In cell C4: {=SUM(LEN(A4:A8))}
In cell C5: {=SUM(LEN(A5:A9))}
....
....
....

but when I highlited range C1:C5 and enter the array by presss
Control/Shift/Enter, the array formula in these cells became
{=SUM(LEN(A1:A5))}. Is there some way to force the array formula to
adopt relative reference?

thanks.

You put the array formula in cell c1
pressing ctrl+shft+enter
and then copy down

Don't select C1:C5 and enter the formula, just select C1 and array enter it,
then copy down.
