I like to create a timetable from a datetime array and a matrix.
d = datetime('2021-01-01'):caldays(1):datetime('2021-01-10');
m = rand(10,5);
t = timetable(d', m)
The resulting table is as blow.
Time m

10-Jan-2021 0.92926 0.91719 0.93401 0.16565 0.15238
But, I like to create the resulting table with 5 columns as below.
Time A B C D E

09-Jan-2021 0.24352 0.54972 0.77917 0.52853 0.91334
10-Jan-2021 0.92926 0.91719 0.93401 0.16565 0.15238
So I tried the following code to give different names to each column, but it does not work.
t.Properties.VariableNames = {'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E'}
Thank you very much for the help in advance.

Thank you very much for the help! It works perfectly. From your answer, I got an idea of another way of doing it.
array2timetable(m, 'RowTimes', d', 'VariableNames', {'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E'})
Once again, thank you.
