Removing zeros from workspace

HI, 

I have copied and pasted data from excel, each population has different number of readings and as a result the smaller populations are filled with zeros in the remaining cells.

thefore when i do a boxplot of the workspace it includes the zeros, I was wondering if there is a way of removing the zero values and still doing the boxplot

Thanks

Can you show us a sample of your dataset? How do you want to remove zeros, do you want to delete rows?

I just need them to not equal zero so be just empty cells if that is possible?

Thanks

If you are just making boxplot, setting them to nan will work.

A = ...; % suppose A is the name of your matrix
A(A==0) = nan;
boxplot(A);

Try

data(data==0) = [];
