I sometimes pull ranges into an array to save time (instead of looping).

Right now, I'd like to do the opposite- I have a complicated workbook and
the code isn't working properly, so I need to see the array during
processing (refreshed during a larger loop) to see what is going on.

The problem is that while I can set a worksheet range equal to a 2D array,
this particular array is 3D and there is only one slice of that I need to
see (effectively a 2D slice)

So what do I need to change in my syntax to go from the two dimensional
assignment:

Sheet1.range("A1:J100).value = TestArray

to a slice of a 3D range, where TestArray(1 to 30, 1 to 100, 1 to 3) and I
only need to see where the third parameter =2;

Sheet1.range("A1:AD100").value = TestArray ([all],[all],2)

Is this possible, and if so, how do I reference TestArray to get my desired
'slice'?

Thanks for any assistance,
Keith

To clarify, here is some test code I was playing with; I haven't found any
syntax for the last line that will work.

Sub test()
Dim TestArray As Variant
ReDim TestArray(1 To 3, 1 To 3, 1 To 3)
For x = 1 To 3
For y = 1 To 3
useY = Chr(y + 64)
For z = 1 To 3
useZ = Chr(z + 32)
TestArray(x, y, z) = x & useY & useZ
Next
Next
Next
Sheet7.Range("A1:C3").Value = TestArray(, , 1) 'can't get this to work with
any syntax I've tried
End Sub

This is one way

Sub test()
Dim TestArray As Variant

Dim result As Variant
Dim slice As Long
slice = 1 'or 2 or 3
ReDim result(1 To 3, 1 To 3)

ReDim TestArray(1 To 3, 1 To 3, 1 To 3)
For x = 1 To 3
For y = 1 To 3
usey = Chr(y + 64)
For z = 1 To 3
useZ = Chr(z + 32)
TestArray(x, y, z) = x & usey & useZ
Next
Next
Next

For j = 1 To 3
For k = 1 To 3
result(k, j) = TestArray(k, j, slice)
Next
Next
Sheet1.Range("a1:C3").Value = result



End Sub

Anyone?
Thanks!
