How to change the name of a table and its headings?

9 views (last 30 days)
Hi
I am trying to change the name of table to Time duration of vehicle speed from Time_duration_vehicle_speed and its two column headings to Interval of speed (rpm) and Duration of speed (s) (all wihtout any underscores). I am not sure how to type the words properly or what the format is to get it be displayed in a normal format with spaces.
Any help would be appreciated, Thankyou.

This should work in R2020b
Interval_of_speed_rpm = randn(5,1);
Duration_of_speed_sec = randn(5,1);
Time_duration_vehicle_speed = table(Interval_of_speed_rpm, Duration_of_speed_sec)
Time_duration_vehicle_speed = 5×2 table
Interval_of_speed_rpm Duration_of_speed_sec _____________________ _____________________ -1.1854 0.7449 -1.2668 -0.072663 0.41819 -0.28403 -1.182 -2.618 -0.82624 -0.38265
VN = Time_duration_vehicle_speed.Properties.VariableNames
VN = 1×2 cell array
{'Interval_of_speed_rpm'} {'Duration_of_speed_sec'}
Time_duration_vehicle_speed.Properties.VariableNames = cellfun(@(x)strrep(x, '_', ' '), VN, 'Unif',0)
Time_duration_vehicle_speed = 5×2 table
Interval of speed rpm Duration of speed sec _____________________ _____________________ -1.1854 0.7449 -1.2668 -0.072663 0.41819 -0.28403 -1.182 -2.618 -0.82624 -0.38265

There cannot be any spaces in the name of the table.

The name of the table has to be a valid MATLAB variable name ("Time_duration_vehicle_speed" is OK; "Time duration vehicle speed" is not), but the name of the variables in the table can be specified when you create the table. Here's one way to do that:
Interval_Of_Speed_rpm = rand(8,1);
Duration_Of_Speed_s = rand(8,1);
% Time_duration_vehicle_speed = table(Interval_Of_Speed_rpm,Duration_Of_Speed_s)
Time_duration_vehicle_speed = table(Interval_Of_Speed_rpm,Duration_Of_Speed_s, ...
'VariableNames',{'Interval (RPM)','Duration (s)'})
Time_duration_vehicle_speed = 8×2 table
Interval (RPM) Duration (s) ______________ ____________ 0.48931 0.90388 0.29423 0.13388 0.13504 0.63643 0.1675 0.94239 0.14342 0.29882 0.82155 0.99378 0.82174 0.63595 0.43448 0.25636

Thankyoub @Voss for the information, are the following lines necessary as the code runs without these as well:
Interval_Of_Speed_rpm = rand(8,1);
Duration_Of_Speed_s = rand(8,1);
Alos,when I do include these 2 lines, all of my values in the table in contrast to the orginal values.

No, that is random data, used to show as an example
