How to write a function that run specific sections of the script

I have functional script that can output a table in 3 different ways.

I want the user to be able to choose which format of the table he wants.

I have a script with 3 different sections, so I'm trying to get the user to choose which section he wants to run with a function.

I tried: function [ table] = data_analysis (dataset)

if dataset= 1

....

elseif dataset = 2

....

else

...

end

end

But MatLab doen's accept if statements that define the input.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks

You need to use == as opposed to = ;

function [a] = data_analysis(x)
%UNTITLED Summary of this function goes here
%   Detailed explanation goes here
if x == 1
    
    a = 1;
    
elseif x == 2
    
    a = 2;
elseif x == 3
    
    a = 3;
    
else
   fprintf('Please specifiy and input between 1 and 3')
    
end
end

I would also suggest using a better name for your function than data_analysis.
