                ‘Language

                .Cells(writeRow, 2).Value = data(row, col)

                writeRow = writeRow + 1

                If col = maxCols Then Exit Do ‘Exit clause

                col = col + 1

            Loop

            If row = maxRows Then Exit Do ‘exit cluase

            row = row + 1
