Note: this is what indicates "Error using matlab.ui.control.EditField/set.Value (line 98)
'Value' must be a character vector or a string scalar."

Try using num2str(Your value) also it would be better to share your entire app because sharing all this code like this we can't find the error ourselves.

Hi,
the error message indicates that the Edit Field's Value must be a character vector or string. MATLAB does not automatically convert a variable to a char, but you can do so by using the "char" function. To do this, you need to change the line:
app.seriesEditField.Value = yy;
to:
app.seriesEditField.Value = char(yy);
If you intend for your variable to be displayed as a number, you may be better served by creating a Numeric Edit Field in your app and converting to double instead of char. You can find the Numeric Edit Field in the Component Library just above the Text Edit Field. Your line of code would then become:
app.seriesEditField.Value = double(yy);
Hope it helps.

You can modify the following lines in your code. i.e. set the uieditfield property to numeric instead of text
app.I1EditField = uieditfield(app.UIFigure, 'numeric'); % set to numeric
app.I2EditField = uieditfield(app.UIFigure, 'numeric');
app.I3EditField = uieditfield(app.UIFigure, 'numeric');
app.R1EditField = uieditfield(app.UIFigure, 'numeric');
app.R2EditField = uieditfield(app.UIFigure, 'numeric');
app.R3EditField = uieditfield(app.UIFigure, 'numeric');
app.V1EditField = uieditfield(app.UIFigure, 'numeric');
app.V2EditField = uieditfield(app.UIFigure, 'numeric');
