i have a table name 'dcode'
d={':';'M';'D';'MD';'A';'AM';'AD';'AMD'};
d_address={'000';'001';'010';'011';'100';'101';'110';'111'};
dcode=table(d,d_address);
i would like access the equivalent value of 'D' in column 1 from column 2 .

@VISHNU DIVAKARAN PILLAI - you could try something like
dcode.d_address(strcmp(dcode.d,'D'))
where we use strcmp to return a logical array of zeros and ones where a one will indicate a match (i.e. identical to 'D"). This logical array will then be used to determine the value of the second column whose first column value matches to 'D'.

If you are always using the values of d as a 'key' to look up other table variables, I would use straightly use d as the table's RowNames:
d_address=string([0;1;10;11;100;101;110;111]);
d_address = pad(d_address,3,"left",'0')
d_address = 8×1 string array
"000" "001" "010" "011" "100" "101" "110" "111"
% note I replace ':' with '::' as ':' is a reserved subscripting character
d=["::";"M";"D";"MD";"A";"AM";"AD";"AMD"];
dcode=table(d_address,'RowNames', d');
dcode('D',:)
ans = table
d_address _________ D "010"
