Public Function ImportData(ByVal data As Object()(), ByVal columnNames As String(), ByVal properties As DataImportProperties) As Area

{signature}
{parameters}
{param:data}A two\-dimensional array of values to import to the worksheet. By default, the first dimension corresponds to row and the second to column \(that is, Object\[row\]\[column\]\).
Thus, an array of data  \{ \{"A","X"\},\{"B","Y"\},\{"C","Z"\} \}  would be inserted into the worksheet as:

|A

|X

|
|B

|Y

|
|C

|Z

|

If you enable [DataImportProperties.Transpose|DataImportProperties.Transpose] , the format will be \[row\]\[column\], so:

\{ \{"A","B","C"\},\{"X","Y","Z"\} \}  would be inserted into the worksheet as:\|A|X|

|B

|Y

|
|C

|Z

An array of column names for the imported data. columnNames and the column dimension of data must contain the same number of elements.

A DataImportProperties object that contains a set of properties to use when importing data to the area.

An Area object representing the set of cells populated with the imported values.
