Convert Table to Cell Array
Create a table, T
, with five rows and three variables.
T = table(categorical(["Y";"Y";"N";"N";"N"]),[38;43;38;40;49],... [124 93;109 77; 125 83; 117 75; 122 80],... 'VariableNames',["Smoker" "Age" "BloodPressure"],... 'RowNames',["Chang" "Brown" "Ruiz" "Lee" "Garcia"])
T=5×3 table
Smoker Age BloodPressure
______ ___ _____________
Chang Y 38 124 93
Brown Y 43 109 77
Ruiz N 38 125 83
Lee N 40 117 75
Garcia N 49 122 80
Convert T
to a cell array.
C = table2cell(T)
C=5×3 cell array
{[Y]} {[38]} {[124 93]}
{[Y]} {[43]} {[109 77]}
{[N]} {[38]} {[125 83]}
{[N]} {[40]} {[117 75]}
{[N]} {[49]} {[122 80]}
C
is a 5-by-3 cell array.
Vertically concatenate the table property, T.Properties.VariableNames
, with C
to include column headings for the cell array.
[T.Properties.VariableNames;C]
ans=6×3 cell array
{'Smoker'} {'Age'} {'BloodPressure'}
{[Y ]} {[ 38]} {[ 124 93]}
{[Y ]} {[ 43]} {[ 109 77]}
{[N ]} {[ 38]} {[ 125 83]}
{[N ]} {[ 40]} {[ 117 75]}
{[N ]} {[ 49]} {[ 122 80]}
T.Properties.VariableNames
stores the variable names as a cell array of character vectors, even when the names were previously assigned from a string array.
Input Arguments
T
— Input table
table
Input table, specified as a table.
If T
is an m
-byn
table,
then C
is an m
-by-n
cell
array.
Extended Capabilities
Tall Arrays
Calculate with arrays that have more rows than fit in memory.
This function fully supports tall arrays. For more information, see Tall Arrays.
C/C++ Code Generation
Generate C and C++ code using MATLAB® Coder™.
This function fully supports code generation. For more information, see Code Generation for Tables (MATLAB Coder).
Distributed Arrays
Partition large arrays across the combined memory of your cluster using Parallel Computing Toolbox™.
This function fully supports distributed arrays. For more information, see Run MATLAB Functions with Distributed Arrays (Parallel Computing Toolbox).
