  Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)

"ITC_list__MatrixHoriz" receives as parameters any kind of lists and replies with a matrix of the given columns number. The values are transposed too.
Requires the CF "ITC_list__MatrixHoriz_loop" which does the most of the work!
I found very useful these CF because I often need to represent a list in a matrix shape -"It'sa lot of space saved!"-, the values are transposed too.
I'm working now on a new CF: "ITC_list__Matrix", in this CF the values are not transposed but flow from a column to the next.
