not working.. :(

Error using dataset/subsasgnDot (line 31) Unknown dataset property: VariableNames.

Error in dataset/subsasgn (line 83) a = subsasgnDot(a,s,b);

Right, you're not using a table but something out of the stats toolbox, which I don't have.

According to the documentation, for dataset d, it's:

d.Properties.VarNames{2} = 'floorNum';

There's even an example of changing the name right in the doc.

Assuming you're talking about a table (which I'll call T):

T.Properties.VariableNames{2} = 'floorNum';
