Allow converting compatible formulas to dynamic arrays on an entire spreadsheet

Right now, it is tedious to convert an existing spreadsheet to use dynamic arrays since each formula needs to be converted one-by-one. It would be helpful to have a way to convert formulas in bulk.

For compressed data, have the option to return the tagname (for example, similar to how the count is returned at the top).
