MATLAB: Remove ObsNames from MatLab dataset

Question

Hi,

As a result from a grpstats on a MatLab dataset, I end up with a MatLab dataset having ObsNames filled in. I do not like that, because these ObsNames are exported to Excel. Is there a way to remove ObsNames from a MatLab dataset or set these to empty ?

Thanks, Gerben

Answer 1

The property ObsNames may be empty. Otherwise, it should have as many strings as observations. To remove these ObsNames from a dataset called d1, you can do the following:

d1.Properties.ObsNames = {};
