ARESIZE resizes an array given the number of rows and/or columns to add or remove and values to use for new rows/columns.

Thanks to RicoS's RESIZEARRAY function for the inspiration.
If both rows and columns are added, the column value(s) takes precedence. To change this, take the first two conditions of PreRes and Result and swap them
Row_Val can handle multiple values in row format (across columns). Col_Val can handle multiple values in column format (down rows).
Optional arguments require comma to work. Calls CELLCOUNT & ACONSTANT.

I have been adding screen tips to my LAMBDA functions. Right now, you are limited to 255 characters or less. So I put each function name, argument or note in a separate cell using commas and parentheses when applicable. I combine them using a double space in TEXTJOIN for clarity. Finally I have a small character count check to ensure the comment does not exceed the 255 limit.

ARESIZE has been rewritten. It is a little shorter, takes advantage of the optional argument syntax, and values can now be repeated in a looped manner.

ARESIZE resizes an array given the number of rows and/or columns to add or remove and values to use for new rows/columns.

Thanks to RicoS's RESIZEARRAY function for the inspiration.
If both rows and columns are added, Col_Val takes precedence. To change this, swap the first two conditions of PreRes and Result.
Row_Val and Col_Val can handle arrays of values.
Optional arguments require comma to work. Calls IFBLANK, CELLCOUNT & ACONSTANT.

The syntax is the same: ARESIZE(Array,[nRow_Top],[nRow_Bottom],[nCol_Left],[nCol_Right],[Row_Val],[Col_Val])

The arguments are the same nut it now repeats the Value argument differently.
1. Single values still repeat across rows and columns.
2. If nRow_Top and/or nRow_Bottom or nCol_Left and/or nCol_Right are greater than Row_Val or Col_Val row or column count, the values are looped until that number is reached.
3. If nRow_Top and/or nRow_Bottom or nCol_Left and/or nCol_Right are less than Row_Val or Col_Val, the values are indexed to that row or column number.
[nRow_Top]: Optional. Number of rows to add (+) or remove (-) at the top side of the array; ignored☛ 0.

[nCol_Left]: Optional. Number of columns to add (+) or remove (-) at the left side of the array; ignored☛ 0.

[Row_Val]: Optional. Value(s) to use for new rows in row format (across columns); ignored☛ empty string.

ARESIZE has been rewritten again. It is a little shorter It should be a lot faster.
With the looping index functionality of ACONSTANT, I realized the following:
1. RowVal was exactly the same as RowTopVal and RowBotVal | ColVal was exactly the same as ColLefVal and ColRigVal
2. They were redundant, so I removed them. This shortened version functions exactly like the previous revision.

ARESIZE resizes an array given the number of rows and/or columns to add or remove and values to use for new rows/columns.

Thanks to RicoS's RESIZEARRAY function for the inspiration.
If both rows and columns are added, Col_Val takes precedence. To change this, swap the first two logical_tests & value_if_trues in Result.
Row_Val and Col_Val can handle arrays of values.
Optional arguments require comma to work. Calls IFBLANK, CELLCOUNT & ACONSTANT.
