i am looking at someone else's vba excel code. they are doing ReDim Preserve dataMatrix(7, i) in both loops. what does this do?

also, it seems like the second loop just overwrites the data in the first, loop, is that correct?

Dim dataMatrix() As String

    Worksheets.Item("ETS").Select
    Do While Trim(Cells(r, 1)) <> ""
       Debug.Print "The line: ", Trim(Cells(r, 1)), r
        r = r + 1
        dataMatrix(1, i) = Trim(Cells(r, 1))    ''file name
        dataMatrix(2, i) = Trim(Cells(r, 2))    ''sample type
        dataMatrix(3, i) = Trim(Cells(r, 3))    ''sample name
        dataMatrix(4, i) = "ETS"    ''
        dataMatrix(5, i) = Trim(Cells(r, 5))    ''Response
        dataMatrix(6, i) = Trim(Cells(r, 6))    ''ISTD Response
        dataMatrix(7, i) = Trim(Cells(r, 10))   ''Calculated Conc
        i = i + 1
        ReDim Preserve dataMatrix(7, i)
    Loop

    r = 5
    Worksheets.Item("ETG").Select
    Do While Trim(Cells(r, 1)) <> ""
       Debug.Print "The line: ", Trim(Cells(r, 1)), r
        r = r + 1
        dataMatrix(1, i) = Trim(Cells(r, 1))    ''file name
        dataMatrix(2, i) = Trim(Cells(r, 2))    ''sample type
        dataMatrix(3, i) = Trim(Cells(r, 3))    ''sample name
        dataMatrix(4, i) = "ETG"
        dataMatrix(5, i) = Trim(Cells(r, 5))    ''Response
        dataMatrix(6, i) = Trim(Cells(r, 6))    ''ISTD Response
        dataMatrix(7, i) = Trim(Cells(r, 10))   ''Calculated Conc
        i = i + 1
        ReDim Preserve dataMatrix(7, i)
    Loop
