Readers who have read some of my earlier posts will be familiar with the concept of “redimensioning” an array.
This is an extremely useful and important technique, which, in its basic form, allows us to take a two-dimensional array and convert it into one of just a single dimension, whilst of course retaining the elements within that array.
Such an approach is necessary if we wish to further manipulate the entries of some two-dimensional array. For example, we might be in a position in which, for whatever reason, we need to pass each of the entries in a two-dimensional array to an array of one or more parameters for further processing. However, since the evaluation of the resulting multi-dimensional “matrix” is not within Excel’s capabilities, we are obliged to first transform the original array to one of a single dimension.
