I have some data in testing.mat (uploaded to this thread), two tables with two common columns: 'letter' and 'vals'.
On t_1, my 'vals' column is full of NaNs, I'd like to fill it with the values of the 'vals' column of t_2. I managed to achieve this with a for loop and using strcmp.
My question for the forum is, is it possible to do this in a single line or two? Without "for" loops? I have not tried it yet, but outerjoin could help me, the thing is I think the command will leave the two 'vals' column if I do the merge using that key.
What do you recommend?
