Counting dimensions of a dynamic array

I am working with dynamic arrays that may be assigned from a variety of sources (variable ranges, data strings, or other arrays) and need a simple way/function to count how many dimensions an array has at any moment, so that I can use other functions to manipulate the array in the correct manner, depending on the number of dimensions.

Is there a simple function/formula to count the current number of dimensions in a dynamic array, without having to keep track of this with an independent variable?

Again, any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

Best regards,
Kelvin

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
It's funny, as a purist I spend so much time trying to write perfectly efficient and reliable code without any errors, and now I find that the only way to do this simple task is to create an intentional error! ;)
