max(size(Data)) && min(selectedElements) >= 1

Syntax: chosenValues = selection2values(Data, selectedElements)

Inputs:
Data: is the data where a selction was made on.
selectedElements: is a vector pointing to the column selected

selectedElements = [1; 3];
values = selection2values(DATA, selectedElements); % returns [1; 6]
