How to 3D plot data points in matlab?

I have three lists of data listed in the workspace in tables that are 8000x1 that will be x, y, and z for the plot I want to make. How can I use these three to create a 3D plot? plot3 and scatter three return these errors:

"Error using scatter3 (line 59) Input arguments must be numeric, datetime, duration or categorical.

Error in PlottingData (line 1) scatter3(x1,y1,z1)"

What should I use to plot this?

I've never really used tables, but can't you just extract the relevant columns into numeric arrays?

How do you do that?

[Adam]

Well, as I said, I don't use tables, but it seems like a basic operation

table2array() will get that done. If your table has non-numeric values and numeric values, apply table2array() just on the subset that is numeric.

If your x1, y1, z1 are tables with a single variable, then

scatter3(x1{:,1}, y1{:,1}, z1{:,1})

Worked well! Thank you very much!
