Hi
This formula is not working… even brackets for @sort and all missed.

try my code, my approach more interesting, on my opinion
the idea is simple, we sort our arrays and convert them to string, then we will compare two string and will get the result.

advantage of my approach:
- more simple, just 1 line;
- faster;
- we can compare any number of arrays

Function ArraysAreEqual (vA As Variant, vB As Variant) As Variant

Dim rez As Variant
rez = Evaluate({@implode(@sort(@Explode(“} & Join(vA, “~”) & Join(vB, “~”) )

if rez(0) = 0 then ArraysAreEqual = false else ArraysAreEqual = true

end function

Thanks for sharing your code.
I just wonder if there is any particular reason to define the return variable as variant. I would suggest using integer or boolean instead. Is that for the sake of backward compatibility or is there any other reason?
