Answer 1

The word 'transpose' immediately leaps to mind. You could simply enter data into the 2D array by flipping the columns and rows (i.e. transpose), effectively allowing you to make n (now the number of columns, but storing row values) larger when you require.

To reference the values, say in a double loop, swap the indices around. E.g. rather go from i = 1 to n and j = 1 to m where you reference value(i, j) , use i = 1 to m and j = 1 to n.

Answer 2

coercing or Slicing doesnt seem to work with Index( or Match(Index( when i want to filter array (w/o loops) based on multiple criteria, when the size of data spans greater than 2^16 rows (~ 92000 rows).

Transpose doesnt work with large recordsets and so also double Transpose does not work. isn't there anyway to filter an array and grab data without resorting to multiple loops?

I am thinking of trying the dictionary way or ADO with Excel.
