How do I remove individual columns from each cell in cell array?

Hi,

I have this cell array "baskets_data" where each cell contains a matrix that is 21 columns long.

baskets_data =

19×1 cell array

{1617×21 cell}

...

For every cell in this cell array, I want to select 9 pre-specified columns and leave out the rest. Namely, 1-3, 8-10 and 15-17.

I have written this code:

for i = 1:length(baskets_data)
    baskets_xyz = baskets_data{i}(:,[1:3,8:10,15:17]);    
end

But as a result I only get a baskets_xyz = 979×9 cell array.

How can I get the cell array to look as follows:

baskets_xyz =

19×1 cell array

{1617×9 cell}

...

Thank you!

load('baskets_data.mat');
disp(baskets_data);

    {1617×21 cell}
    { 846×21 cell}
    {3812×21 cell}
    { 530×21 cell}
    {5463×21 cell}
    { 601×21 cell}
    { 998×21 cell}
    {1125×21 cell}
    { 645×21 cell}
    { 955×21 cell}
    {1747×21 cell}
    { 965×21 cell}
    { 546×21 cell}
    {1211×21 cell}
    {3023×21 cell}
    { 941×21 cell}
    { 915×21 cell}
    {2942×21 cell}
    { 979×21 cell}

baskets_xyz = cell(size(baskets_data));
for i = 1:numel(baskets_data)
    baskets_xyz{i} = baskets_data{i}(:,[1:3,8:10,15:17]);    
end

disp(baskets_xyz);

    {1617×9 cell}
    { 846×9 cell}
    {3812×9 cell}
    { 530×9 cell}
    {5463×9 cell}
    { 601×9 cell}
    { 998×9 cell}
    {1125×9 cell}
    { 645×9 cell}
    { 955×9 cell}
    {1747×9 cell}
    { 965×9 cell}
    { 546×9 cell}
    {1211×9 cell}
    {3023×9 cell}
    { 941×9 cell}
    { 915×9 cell}
    {2942×9 cell}
    { 979×9 cell}
