MATLAB: Not able to excecute the code

Question

I am trying to execute following codes :

 rows={'A','B'};
 data = cell(0,5);
T = cell2table(data);
T.Properties.RowNames = rows; 

Matlab is throwing an error :The RowNames property must contain one name for each row in the table.

Can anybody comment if I am missing anything? I will appreciate any help.

Answer 1

Hey, cell(0,5) returns a 0x5 empty cell array. That is why row number isn't matching with rows variable. You should use You can simply create a cell array using the command,

data = {0,5}

Also, in this example data is a 1x2 cell array. Hence it has only one row. To change that row name, you could do something like,

rows={'A'};
data = {0,5};
T = cell2table(data);
T.Properties.RowNames = rows; 

For creating a 2x1 cell array, you'll have to use

rows={'A','B'};
data = {0;5};
T = cell2table(data);
T.Properties.RowNames = rows;
