Concatenate cells: making column and row headers
2 views (last 30 days)

Hi,
I have a column and a row like this:
col={'cat1'; 'cat2'; 'cat3'}
row={'mouse1' 'mouse2' 'mouse3'}
I would like to make these as column and row headers (eventually for a table) like this such that my table looks like this:

I've attempted to use cat such that:
table=cat(2,col,row)
but it results in an error the dimensions are not consistent..
Thank you so much for your help and please let me know if I am not clear.

table(2:4) = row;
table(2:4,1) = col;

The code below works fine for me. If you get an error, you may need to make sure that your variable, table, is not defined previously with other dimensions. If that still didn't work out, please post your example with the error message.
>> col = {'a','b','c'}
col =
'a' 'b' 'c'
>> row = {'d','e','f'}
row =
'd' 'e' 'f'
>> table(2:numel(row)+1) = row
table =
[] 'd' 'e' 'f'
>> table(2:numel(col)+1,1) = col
table =
[] 'd' 'e' 'f'
'a' [] [] []
'b' [] [] []
'c' [] [] []
