Error using tabular/nu​mArguments​FromSubscr​ipt

I have created a loop that looks for the number "X" and returns the rows where it is located

for rowcount = 1:size(Summarytable,1)

if strcmp(Summarytable.year{rowcount},year)

rowsforyear = [rowsforyear,rowcount];

end

end

Error using tabular/numArgumentsFromSubscript (line 111)

Brace indexing is not supported for variables of this type.

Error in export_PSA_year_summary (line 92)

if strcmp(Summarytable.year{rowcount},year)

I don't understand how to solve the problem. On Matlab 2019 are working but on 2020 version not work.

How can i fix it?

Hello @Sergio Gonzalez,

I am assuming that the variable "Summarytable" belongs to the class "table".

The above error message might be due to usage of curly braces for indexing in this section of code:

if  strcmp(Summarytable.year{rowcount},year)

To resolve the issue, use parenthesis instead, as recommended in this example: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/table.html#mw_7b054635-18c5-4076-bd1a-28cc2ef6dd5d .

if  strcmp(Summarytable.year(rowcount),year)
