ACLMJOIN

=ACLMJOIN(a,cm,cx,ec,ni,d)

a
array
cm
integer, min column index, 0 or ignored will take 1 value
cm
integer, max column index, 0 or ignored will take value columns(a)
ni
integer, after this new column index of the remaining array, the extracted joined array will be inserted, 1<=ni< columns(remaining array) or special values: -1,appends extr.array to the left of remaining array, 0 or ignored, to the right

textjoins chosen pattern of columns indexes of an array, by a delimiter "d", and inserts the result after the "ni" new column index of remaining array

ACLMJOIN array columns join, textjoins chosen pattern of columns indexes of an array, by a delimiter "d", and inserts the result after the "ni" new column index of remaining array . Calls ASELECT , ATEXTJOIN , ABINSERT
a: array; cm, column min ; cx, column max ; ec, extra columns ; ni, new column index ; d, delimiter
Example: imagine 10clms array. column pattern: cm=4,cx=7, ec={2,9} , ni=2 .
The formula extracts all columns btwn cm(min) and cx(max) and adds the extra columns, everything in ascending order from left to right. The extracted array will contain this sequence of columns {2,4,5,6,7,9}. The remaining array after extraction, will contain columns {1,3,8,10} . The formula ATEXTJOINs the extracted array in a single column and inserts it after 2nd new column index of remaining array (ni=2) so, between 3 and 8. The result array will look like this {1,3, extr.array joined , 8,10} or {1,3,(2,4,5,7,9),8,10}
The algorithm for column pattern is the same like in ASELECT, so if by mistake you introduce cm>cx, formula knows to put them in order, or values out of columns range will be ignored.
ni argument has the same behavior like ci argument of ABINSERT : -1, extracted textjoined array will be appended to the left of remaining array, 0 or ignored, to the right , or ni should be in this interval 1<=ni<columns(remaining array) . Out of this values, returns error mes. "check data", the message caried by ABINSERT functionality.
Excel Formula:
=LAMBDA(a,cm,cx,ec,ni,d,
    LET(c,COLUMNS(a),s,SEQUENCE(,c),as,ASELECT(a,,,cm,cx,ec),y,ATEXTJOIN(as,,,d),ss,ASELECT(s,,,cm,cx,ec),
       x,FILTER(a,ISNA(XMATCH(s,ss))),
       ABINSERT(x,y,ni)
    )
)

Task: Create single cell formula that generates a random array, 20 rows , with elements of array A, taking in consideration product's cost/selling prices as in array B
Functions on minisheet : AMERGE , ARANDOM , ACLMJOIN , ACLMSPLIT
Note: 2 ways, step by step or one step. The final results of these 2 methods will be different because of AROUND embedded in one step formula that will randomize other values, ofcourse.
