Creating iddata from data in tables

I guess iddata won't accept data from a table.

>> dataTable(1:5,:)

ans =

  5×5 table

    Time    H1    H2     T1       T2  
    ____    __    __    _____    _____

     0      0     0     21.23    21.23
     1      0     0     21.55    21.55
     2      0     0     21.55    21.55
     3      0     0     21.87    21.55
     4      0     0     21.55    21.23

>> dataSet = iddata(dataTable(:,4:5),dataTable(:,2:3));
Error using iddata (line 193)
The value of the "OutputData" property must be a double matrix or a cell array of such matrices.
 

Is this the only or best solution?

>> inputData = table2array(dataTable(:,2:3));
>> outputData = table2array(dataTable(:,4:5));
>> dataSet = iddata(outputData,inputData);

Hi,

Instead of indexing based on paranthesis “()” you can use curly braces “{}” to

extract the cell array within the table.

% Instead of :  
inputData = table2array(dataTable(:,2:3)); 

outputData = table2array(dataTable(:,4:5)); 

dataSet = iddata(outputData,inputData); 

% You can do something much simpler: 
dataSet = iddata( dataTable{:,4:5}, dataTable{:,2:3} ); 

Here is a sample table which demonstrates the same thing as above:

t = table; 

t.Time = (0:1:100)'; 
t.H1 = zeros(101,1);  
t.H2 = zeros(101,1); 
t.T1 = zeros(101, 1) + 23.25;  
t.T2 = zeros(101, 1) + 21.53;  

dataset = iddata(t{:,4:5}, t{:,2:3});

Evidently I don't understand MATLAB indexing... Thanks for the links!
