I have a very specific formatting issue. Right now, I have used the readtable command to load a csv file into the workspace. It looks something like this:
A={'Country', 'Prod1', 'Prod2';
'BE', '5', '8';
'NL', '15', '9';
'DE','13','18'};
However, I need it to look like this:
A={'Country','Product #', 'Amount';
'BE', '1', '5';
'BE', '2', '8';
'NL', '1', '15';
'NL', '2', '9'; ...}
Thanks for the help.

Hi
The "readtable" treats the entries in the first line of the file as variable names. So updating the first line of your .dat file should solve the issue. You can programmatically change the variable names by :
T.Properties.VariableNames{'Prod1'} = 'Product #';
Hope this helps.
