You can replace an element, row, column, or page in an array. What you can replace depends on how many dimensions the array has. For example, in an array of two or more dimensions, you can replace a row or a column with a 1D array. In an array of three or more dimensions, you can replace a page with a 2D array.

Complete the following steps to replace elements, rows, columns, or pages in an array.

1. Place the Replace Array Subset function on the block diagram.
2. Wire an array of any dimension to the n-dimension array input of the Replace Array Subset function. The function automatically resizes based on the dimensions of the array.
3. Determine which operation you want to perform from the following table and complete the associated steps.

Note  The index input specifies which element, row, column, or page to replace, with 0 being the first. The new element/subarray input specifies the value you want to replace an element, or the array you want to replace a row, column, or page.

Array wired to n-dimension array	Replacing	Complete these steps.
1D array	Element	Wire a value 0-n to index. Wire a value to new element/subarray.
2D array	Row	Wire a value 0-n to index (row). Wire a 1D array to new element/subarray.
	Column	Wire a value 0-n to index (column). Wire a 1D array to new element/subarray.
	Element	Wire a value 0-n to index (row). Wire a value 0-n to index (column). Wire a value to new element/subarray.
3D-nD array	Page	Wire a value 0-n to index (page). Wire a 2D array to new element/subarray.
	Row	Wire a value 0-n to index (page). Wire a value 0-n to index (row). Wire a 1D array to new element/subarray.
	Column	Wire a value 0-n to index (page). Wire a value 0-n to index (column). Wire a 1D array to new element/subarray.
	Element	Wire a value 0-n to index (page). Wire a value 0-n to index (row). Wire a value 0-n to index (column). Wire a value to new element/subarray.

4. Resize the Replace Array Subset function to replace another element, row, column, or page within an array and repeat steps 2 and 3.
5. Run the VI.
