Hi, I'm trying to assign titles to a bunch of arrays extracted from columns in an excel sheet. I used: Data_raw=readtable('nameoffile.xslx'); Colum_names=Data_raw.Properties.VariableNames; To extract the titles of each column I tried to use loop to go throuhg all the arrays [m,n]=size(Data_raw); for i=1:n Char(Column_names(1,i))=table2array(Data_raw(:,i)); end
I'm not sure if there is a way to make it work I tried to use the genvarname function or using {} but no luck. I know its not a complicated question but any guidance will be appreciated. Thank you.

... which is how some beginners force themselves into writing slow, complex, buggy code:
It is easier to write simpler, neater, more efficient code using indexing, fieldnames, etc..
