How do you want to store your final output?
All values in a numeric array (12x5 or 5x12 )? If otherwise, please specify.

I have an annual table X, where I want to calculate the five maximum values for each month. My code works but I need to also apply it for other variables so I am wondering how to shrink it a bit using a loop. So far i splitted the initial annual table (X) into months like this:
X_January = table(Dates{1,1},X{1,1});
X_February = table(Dates{2,1},X{2,1});
X_March = table(Dates{3,1},X{3,1});
X_April = table(Dates{4,1},X{4,1});
X_May = table(Dates{5,1},X{5,1});
X_June = table(Dates{6,1},X{6,1});
X_July = table(Dates{7,1},X{7,1});
X_August = table(Dates{8,1},X{8,1});
X_September = table(Dates{9,1},X{9,1});
X_October = table(Dates{10,1},X{10,1});
X_November = table(Dates{11,1},X{11,1});
X_December = table(Dates{12,1},X{12,1});
%Max 5 values for January
[Col,idx] = maxk(X_January{:,1},5);
T= X_January(idx,:)
Any ideas how to make a loop?

One approach —
date_time = (datetime('01-Jan-2023') : caldays(1) : datetime('31-Dec-2023')).';
Values = randn(numel(date_time), 5);
T1 = [table(date_time) array2table(Values)]
for k = 1:12
Lv = month(T1.date_time) == k;
M = T1(Lv,:);
[~,idx] = maxk(M{:,2},5); % Index Returns 5 Highest Values Of First Variable
Month{k} = M(idx,:);
end
Month{1} % January
Month{12} % December
Please do not use numbered variables! Simply store the results in an array.

As always, my pleasure!
The easiest way to find out is to do the experiment, adding:
Month{k} = [Month{k}; []];
That will not throw an error, however it does not affect the result, and neither does:
Month{k} = [Month{k}; cell(1,size(Month{k},2))];
while this works:
Month{k} = [Month{k}; table(NaT,NaN,NaN,NaN, 'VariableNames',Month{k}.Properties.VariableNames)];
however this (and analogues of it) do not:
Month{k} = [Month{k}; table({},[],[],[], 'VariableNames',Month{k}.Properties.VariableNames)];
So it appears not to be possible.
I will leave this up here so you can experiment with it —
date_time = (datetime('01-Jan-2023') : caldays(1) : datetime('31-Dec-2023')).';
Temperature = randn(numel(date_time), 1);
T1 = [table(date_time) array2table(Temperature)]
VN = T1.Properties.VariableNames;
[Y,M,D] = ymd(T1.date_time);
DN = day(T1.date_time,'dayofyear');
T1 = addvars(T1,M,Y,'AFter','date_time');
T1.Properties.VariableNames = {VN{1},'M','Y',VN{2}}; % Necessary, Since They Show Up As 'Var2' etc. Otherwise
T1
for k = 1:12
Lv = month(T1.date_time) == k;
M = T1(Lv,:);
[~,idx] = maxk(M{:,2},5); % Index Returns 5 Highest Values Of First Variable
Month{k} = M(idx,:);
% Q = cell(1,size(Month{k},2))
Month{k} = [Month{k}; table({},[],[],[], 'VariableNames',Month{k}.Properties.VariableNames)];
% Month{k} = [Month{k}; table(NaT,NaN,NaN,NaN, 'VariableNames',Month{k}.Properties.VariableNames)];
end
Month{1} % January
Month{12} % December
