MATLAB: Separate table data in to sub tables

Question

Hi everyone

I have a table of data the size of 10000×3. There are 300 different names used in the rows. I would like to seperte the variables that have the same name and make a tabel for each variable.

for example if the table below is my original table :

 name       Variable1      variable2       variable3 
  A          variable1_A1    variable2_A2    variable3_A3 
  B          variable1_B1    variable2_B2    variable3_B3 
  K          variable1_K1    variable2_K2    variable3_K3 
  L          variable1_L1    variable2_L2     variable3_L3 
  A          variable1_A4    variable2_A5    variable3_A6 
  A          variable1_A7    variable2_A8    variable3_A9 
  L           variable1_L4    variable2_L5    variable3_L6 

I need to devide it to 4 differnt tables (one for each name):

name       Variable1      variable2       variable3 
  A          variable1_A1    variable2_A2    variable3_A3 
  A          variable1_A4    variable2_A5    variable3_A6 
  A          variable1_A7    variable2_A8    variable3_A9 
  
name       Variable1      variable2       variable3 
  L          variable1_L1    variable2_L2    variable3_L3 
  L          variable1_L4    variable2_L5    variable3_L6 

Thank you in advance for your help!

Answer 1

G = findgroups(YourTable.name);
output = splitapply(@(varargin) {table(varargin{:}, 'VariableNames', YourTable.Properties.VariableNames)}, YourTable, G);

This should give a cell array of tables.
