Hi,
I have a column of characters I would like to convert to doubles
'1.0118'
'1.0075'
'1.0064'
'1.0077'
'1.0087'
'1.0213'
'1.0213'
'1.013'
'1.013'
'1.0047'
'1.0039'
'0.9993'
'1.0059'
'1.0047'
'0.9985'
I have tried using str2double but it doesn't seem to work. How would I go about converting this into a column of doubles?
Thank you

Is it available as a cell array. If yes, then try this
x = {
'1.0118'
'1.0075'
'1.0064'
'1.0077'
'1.0087'
'1.0213'
'1.0213'
'1.013'
'1.013'
'1.0047'
'1.0039'
'0.9993'
'1.0059'
'1.0047'
'0.9985'};
y = cellfun(@str2num, x)

You need to use braces instead of parenthesis
date = datetime({S.observations.date}, 'InputFormat','yyyy-MM-dd')
