OfficeScripts does not natively support 3D arrays. However, you can achieve similar functionality by using nested arrays within nested arrays. Here’s an example of how you can create a data structure that behaves like a 3D array:
function create3DArray() { // Define the dimensions of the 3D "array" var dim1 = 2; var dim2 = 3; var dim3 = 4; // Create the 3D "array" using nested arrays var array3D = new Array(dim1); for (var i = 0; i < dim1; i++) { array3D[i] = new Array(dim2); for (var j = 0; j < dim2; j++) { array3D[i][j] = new Array(dim3); } } // Assign values to the 3D "array" for (var i = 0; i < dim1; i++) { for (var j = 0; j < dim2; j++) { for (var k = 0; k < dim3; k++) { array3D[i][j][k] = "Value: " + i + "-" + j + "-" + k; } } } // Logging the 3D "array" console.log(array3D); }
In this example, the create3DArray function creates a “3D array” using nested arrays. It defines the dimensions of the “array” as dim1, dim2, and dim3, representing the number of elements in each dimension.
The function then creates the “3D array” structure by using nested loops to create arrays within arrays. The outermost loop iterates over the first dimension (dim1), the middle loop iterates over the second dimension (dim2), and the innermost loop iterates over the third dimension (dim3).
After creating the “3D array” structure, the function assigns values to the individual elements of the “array” using the loop variables i, j, and k. In this example, each element is assigned a string value based on its indices.
Finally, the “3D array” is logged to the console.
Keep in mind that this approach does not provide native 3D array functionality, but it allows you to create a data structure that simulates a 3D array using nested arrays.
Please note that OfficeScripts are only supported in Excel for the web and Excel Online, and they may have limitations compared to other programming environments.
