Description:
Transforms a return-separated list of values into a tabular text array with the specified number of columns. Values are placed into the array according to their order in the list, with rows filled first.
The function can be used together with the TransposeArray() custom function to return an array ordered in 'columns down' order.

This came in handy today when I was presented with a global text field containing 260 numbers as multiline and I needed to print the result to display which accts were selected (in the list).
Instead of one long column 260 lines long, I was about to break it into columns which saved three pages which would have only contained a single long string of numbers.
