Answer 1

Use the Googled formula, but instead of hitting Enter after you type it into the formula bar, hit Ctrl+Shift+Enter simultaneously (instead of Enter). This places brackets around the formula and will treat it as an array.

Be warned, if you edit it, you cannot hit Enter again or the formula will not be valid. If editing, you must do the same thing when done (Ctrl+Shift+Enter).
