With HSTACK and VSTACK, you can add two or more ranges of cells together to form a single array, either horizontally or vertically.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The syntax for each function is the same, <span style=\"font-weight:bold\">HSTACK (range1, range2,\u2026)<\/span> and <span style=\"font-weight:bold\">VSTACK (range1, range2,\u2026), <\/span>where only the first argument is required. However, you\u2019ll almost always use the second argument, which combines another range with the first.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:bold\">Range1<\/span>: The first cell range you want to use for the array, formatted as \u201cA1:D4.\u201d\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:bold\">Range2,\u2026<\/span>: The second cell range you want to add to the first to create the array. You can combine more than two cell ranges.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s look at some examples using HSTACK and VSTACK and their formulas.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this first example, we\u2019ll combine the ranges A1 through D2 with A3 through D4 using this formula:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:bold\">=HSTACK(A1:D2,A3:D4)\n<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/how-to-use-array-formulas-in-google-sheets-19-compressed.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"897\" height=\"247\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/how-to-use-array-formulas-in-google-sheets-19-compressed.png\" alt=\"Combine to Create a New Array: HSTACK and VSTACK image\" class=\"wp-image-96249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/how-to-use-array-formulas-in-google-sheets-19-compressed.png 897w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/how-to-use-array-formulas-in-google-sheets-19-compressed-300x83.png 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/how-to-use-array-formulas-in-google-sheets-19-compressed-768x211.png 768w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/how-to-use-array-formulas-in-google-sheets-19-compressed-320x88.png 320w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/how-to-use-array-formulas-in-google-sheets-19-compressed-640x176.png 640w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/how-to-use-array-formulas-in-google-sheets-19-compressed-360x99.png 360w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/how-to-use-array-formulas-in-google-sheets-19-compressed-720x198.png 720w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/how-to-use-array-formulas-in-google-sheets-19-compressed-800x220.png 800w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/how-to-use-array-formulas-in-google-sheets-19-compressed-610x168.png 610w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/how-to-use-array-formulas-in-google-sheets-19-compressed-80x22.png 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 897px) 100vw, 897px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>You can see our data ranges combined to form a single horizontal array.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For an example of the VSTACK function, we combine three ranges.
