Conversion of uitable Column Names to Table Column Names

12 views (last 30 days)
Hi, I have a uitable (containing doubles) that I am writing to an excel file by first converting it to a table, then using WriteTable.
I want to include the uitable column names.
My column names are like this:
cnames =
7×1 cell array
{'X' }
{'Y' }
{'Z' }
{'FM' }
{'diff' }
{'dy1' }
{'dy2' }
I see that in the conversion from array to Table, there is a field for variable names, however it is in this form:
T = array2table(A,...
'VariableNames',{'Feet','Inches','Centimeters'})
I know I can transpose my uitable cnames to give
cnames =
1×17 cell array
{'X'} {'Y'} {'Z'} {'FM'} {'diff'} {'dy1'} {'dy2'}
But Im not sure how to get in the format required for the table.
Thanks

Hi,
You can directly use the transposed cnames as Variable names. As in,
cnames = {'X';'Y';'Z';'FM';'diff';'dy1';'dy2'};
row = cnames';
A = rand(20,7);
B = array2table(A,'VariableNames',row);
