MATLAB: Creating table with variable and row names

Question

Hi,

I am having problems with creating a output table, which for some reason work when i only use one variable, but not when i enter a second one. Code:

mean_rgoog = mean(rgoog);
mean_rm = mean(rm);
std_rgoog = std(rgoog);
std_rm = std(rm);

disp(table(mean_rgoog, mean_rm, 'VariableNames', {'mean'}, 'RowNames', ...
{'mean_rgoog', 'mean_rm'}));

Again, it works if i remove the 'mean_rm' from the 'RowNames'. Anybody knows how to fix this, to make it work with multiple rows?

Answer 1

You're likely getting an error,

Error using table 
The RowNames property must contain one name for each row in the table.

It appears you're trying to create a table with 1 column and 2 rows but instead, your table() inputs provide two columns of 1 row of data. Instead, vertically concatenate the two rows of data into 1 column.

table([mean_rgoog; mean_rm], 'VariableNames', {'mean'}, 'RowNames', {'mean_rgoog', 'mean_rm'})
