If you are trying to return a two dimensional array of values, you can use INDEX/XMATCH/XMATCH or, if you have no need to look up the column indices, a hard-wired array {1,2} will return the first two columns.
It is a nuisance that, though arrays of arrays, are normal as input (essentially that is what Tables are) it is such hard work to get a 2D array returned.
