MdArrayToTable

MdArrayToTable(A,I,L)

Transforms a multi-dimensional array, A, into a two-dimensional array (i.e., a table) indexed by I and L. The result contains one row along I for each element of A. L must contain a list of names of the indexes of A, followed by one final element. All elements of L must be text values. The column corresponding to the final element of L contains the cell value. If L does not contain all the indexes of A, array abstraction will create a set of tables indexed by the dimensions not listed in L.

If L does not contain all the indexes of A, array abstraction will create a set of tables indexed by the dimensions not listed in L.

If the number of elements in I is equal to the number of nonzero elements of A, MDArrayToTable() acts like the inverse of MdTable( ) on a table that contains a row for only the nonzero elements of the array.
