Hi, I am creating a matlab function and initializing a Table inside the function. I was wondering if I can return the (nxm)table with column headers as the return value of the Matlab function?
Thanks, Asghar

You can return a cell array. This is an example of one.
cellarray = {'header 1', 'header 2'; 1 2; 45 76; 'Total' 78};
num2cell might be useful.

Asghar, in recent versions of MATLAB, there's a data type called "table". You may be asking about that. Here's a simple example of a function that returns such a table:
function t = createTable()
t = table(randn(3,1),randn(3,1),'VariableNames',{'X' 'Y'});
>> t = createTable
t =
X Y
