how to remove an entire column in a cell array

41 views (last 30 days)
I have a cell array of ca and I need to be able to remove an entire column. So far I am able to delete the last column 'Final', but not sure how to delete the middle columns since its a mixed cell array of char and doubles.
ca = {'Name','Test1','Test2','Test3','Final';
'A', 70 , 80 , 100, 99;
'B', 30 , 90, 95, 90;
'C', 100, 70, 85, 90}
newCa = ca(:,2:end)

ca = {'Name','Test1','Test2','Test3','Final';
'A', 70 , 80 , 100, 99;
'B', 30 , 90, 95, 90;
'C', 100, 70, 85, 90};
% delete the third column, say:
ca(:,3) = []
ca = 4×4 cell array
{'Name'} {'Test1'} {'Test3'} {'Final'} {'A' } {[ 70]} {[ 100]} {[ 99]} {'B' } {[ 30]} {[ 95]} {[ 90]} {'C' } {[ 100]} {[ 85]} {[ 90]}
