Unable to edit table in my Report

Hello,

I am new to coding/Matlabs and have run into an issue with my script that I am working on. My intention with this script is to take a .csv and make it pretty by generating a more presentable "Report." This report will break the table into 2 different tables, one for calibration and one for a final verification of the output.

Where I am having an issue is with the styling of the table. Nothing I seem to do changes the fontsize, style, padding, etc. Did I do something in my code that prevents me editing the table any styling for the report?

Here is my code:

%% Import report API classes
import mlreportgen.report.*
import mlreportgen.dom.*

%% Clear content
clear;

%% Select .csv file to pull information from
[file, path] = uigetfile('*.csv');
file_name = strcat(path, file);
csv_file = fopen(file_name);

%% Set up the Import Options and import the data
opts = delimitedTextImportOptions("NumVariables", 14);
% Specify range and delimiter
opts.DataLines = [2, Inf];
opts.Delimiter = ",";
% Specify column names and types
opts.VariableNames = ["UNIT_", "CALTIME", "CAL_ADJ", "CPM", "PEAK", "PEAKSD", "PEAKTARG", "PEAKERR", "RESID", "RESIDSD", "RESIDMAXSPEC", "DYNRANGE", "PW", "PASS_FAIL"];
opts.VariableTypes = ["categorical", "categorical", "categorical", "double", "double", "double", "double", "double", "double", "double", "double", "double", "double", "categorical"];
% Specify file level properties
opts.ExtraColumnsRule = "ignore";
opts.EmptyLineRule = "read";
% Specify variable properties
opts = setvaropts(opts, ["UNIT_", "CALTIME", "CAL_ADJ", "PASS_FAIL"], "EmptyFieldRule", "auto");
% Make data set from .csv file 
caldata = readtable(file, opts);

%% Format Table Style
caldata.Style = [caldata.Style 
    {NumberFormat("%1.3f"),...
    Width("100%"),...
    Border("solid"),...
    ColSep("solid"),...
    RowSep("solid")}];
caldata.TableEntriesHAlign = "center";
append(rpt, caldata);

%% Create File and type
rpt = Report('output','docx');

%% Add content to Report
% Title Page
titlepg = TitlePage;
titlepg.Title = 'Project Title';
titlepg.Author = 'Company Name';
titlepg.PubDate = date;
add (rpt, titlepg);

% Table of contents
add (rpt, TableOfContents);

% Calibration Report
calr = Chapter('Calibration Report');
add (rpt, calr);
%head(caldata, 16) %Call Calibration rows from table
ta = head(caldata, 16);
append(rpt,ta);

% Append changes to table format
%append(rpt,caldata);

% Performance Verification Report
perfr = Chapter('Performance Report');
add (rpt, perfr);
%tail(caldata, 16) %Call Performance rows from table
caldata = tail(caldata, 16);
append(rpt,caldata);

%% Clear temporary variables
clear opts

%% Close Report
close (rpt);

%% Display Data
%display(caldata);

%Show Final Report
rptview(rpt);

Hello @Eric Aguado It was happening because you table ype was different.

you need to create mlreportgen.dom.table

caldataNew = mlreportgen.dom.Table(caldata);

caldataNew =

Table with properties:

ColSpecGroups: [1×14 mlreportgen.dom.TableColSpecGroup]

NCols: 14

NRows: 33

Width: []

HAlign: []

BackgroundColor: []

Border: 'solid'

BorderColor: []

BorderWidth: '100px'

RowSep: 'single'

RowSepColor: []

RowSepWidth: []

ColSep: 'single'

ColSepColor: []

ColSepWidth: []

BorderCollapse: []

FlowDirection: []

OuterLeftMargin: []

TableEntriesStyle: {[1×1 mlreportgen.dom.HAlign]}

TableEntriesVAlign: []

TableEntriesHAlign: 'center'

TableEntriesInnerMargin: []

StyleName: 'rgMATLABTable'

Style: {[1×1 mlreportgen.dom.Border] [1×1 mlreportgen.dom.ColSep] [1×1 mlreportgen.dom.RowSep]}

CustomAttributes: []

Parent: []

Children: [1×33 mlreportgen.dom.TableRow]

Tag: 'dom.Table:20111'

Id: '20111'

This all property you can set or style them after setting.

% Make data set from .csv file 
caldata = readtable(file, opts);
caldataNew = mlreportgen.dom.Table(caldata);
%% Format Table Style
caldataNew.Border='solid';
caldataNew.BorderWidth='100';
caldataNew.ColSep='Single';
caldataNew.RowSep='Single';
caldataNew.TableEntriesHAlign = "center";

%% Create File and type
rpt = Report('output','docs');
append(rpt, caldataNew);

Thank you so much! I had to edit the way that my information was sent to the report, but I can now edit it!
