**Applies to:** ✅ Data 360 SQL ✅ Tableau Hyper API

Checks whether there's any overlap between two arrays.

## Syntax

```sql
array_contains_any(<array1>, <array2>)
```

## Arguments

### Required

- `<array1>`: The first array to compare.
- `<array2>`: The second array to compare.

## Returns

Returns a boolean value (`true` or `false`) that indicates whether any element exists in both arrays.

## Considerations

- Both arrays must have compatible element types.
- Returns `false` if either array is empty.

## Examples

### Check for Overlap

Check whether two arrays share any common elements.

```sql
SELECT array_contains_any(array[1, 2], array[2, 3]) AS has_overlap;
```

Returns `true` because both arrays contain the value 2.
