I have decided to start releasing code that should be backward compatible to excel 2007.

The following UDF should be able to be added to any version of Excel 2007 or newer version of excel and perform very similar to the excel 365 function CHOOSEROWS.

VBA Code:
Function CHOOSEROWS(data As Range, ParamArray row_nums() As Variant) As Variant                                     ' Excel 365
'
    Dim ArrayColumn                 As Long, ArrayRow               As Long
    Dim ArrayDimensionFoundValue    As Long, MaximumDimension       As Long
    Dim DataRowNumber               As Long, ChosenRowNumber        As Long, RowsChosenCount    As Long
    Dim CHOOSEROWS_Array            As Variant, row_nums_Array      As Variant, TempArray       As Variant
'
' Check if input is a range or array
    If TypeName(row_nums(0)) = "Range" Then                                                                         ' If row_nums(0) is a range then ...
        If row_nums(0).Cells.count = 1 Then                                                                         '   If the range(0) is detected as 1 cell then ...
