MATLAB: Table not structuring the way I want

errortablevariables

I want to input information so that it creates a x by 7 table, where x depends on the number inputed at the beginning. However, it keeps creating a 1 by 7 table but in the table each column has x number of values instead of moving down to the next row for each value. I've tried to change things but I also get a "Conversion to double from cell is not possible" error when I swap my variables to () instead of {} so I'm stuck.
answerTotalNoSpaces=inputdlg('Enter','Total Number Of Spaces');
totalNoSpaces=str2double(answerTotalNoSpaces{1});
SpaceType=(totalNoSpaces);
FloorNumber=(totalNoSpaces);
SpaceX=(totalNoSpaces);
SpaceY=(totalNoSpaces);
SpaceZ=(totalNoSpaces);
SpaceCoordX=(totalNoSpaces);
SpaceCoordY=(totalNoSpaces);
for i=1:1:totalNoSpaces
    
    list={'Residential','Office','Education','Toilet','Storage'};
    [selectionindex,ok]=listdlg('ListString',list);
    if ok
        SpaceType(i)=list(selectionindex);
    end
    answerFloorNumber=inputdlg('Enter','Floor Number');
    FloorNumber(i)=str2double(answerFloorNumber{1});
    answerSpaceX=inputdlg('Enter','Space X distance (m)');
    SpaceX(i)=str2double(answerSpaceX{1});
    answerSpaceY=inputdlg('Enter','Space Y distance (m)');
    SpaceY(i)=str2double(answerSpaceY{1});
    answerSpaceZ=inputdlg('Enter','Space Z distance (m)');
    SpaceZ(i)=str2double(answerSpaceZ{1});
    answerCoordX=inputdlg('Enter','Space X coord');
    SpaceCoordX(i)=str2double(answerCoordX{1});
    answerCoordY=inputdlg('Enter','Space Y coord');
    SpaceCoordY(i)=str2double(answerCoordY{1});
    
end
buildingTable=table(SpaceType,FloorNumber,SpaceX,SpaceY,SpaceZ,SpaceCoordX,SpaceCoordY);

Best Answer

The table function works best with column vectors for each variable. Your code creates row vectors.
The easiest way to correct this (creating column vectors) is to add a default second subscript: 
FloorNumber(i,:) = ...
SpaceX(i,:) = ...
and so for the others.
