Insert time depending on sample time and measurement points into existing table

Hello,
I am trying to add time to my existing table. I have tried different methods but I am just getting started with MatLab and can't seem to figure this one out.
Where N = samples = 250.000 and ST = SampleTime = 3 and TS = Timestep = ST/N.
So I want it to add to my 6th column which I have already declared and where row 1 = 0, row 2 = 0 + TS, etc.. until I reach row 250.000 = ST.
Code I wrote for this part:
%add column6 and time to T1
T1.time = rand(250000,1);
ST = 3; %declare SampleTime
N = 250000; %SampleSize
TS = ST/N; %calc TimeStep
i = 0;
while i < N
T1(i,6) = 0 + i.*TS;
i = i + 1;
end
This would give me the error:
"Right hand side of an assignment into a table must be another table or a cell array."
I suppose it has something to do with declaration of which column the data should be placed but I have no idea how I could fix this.

In "the MATLAB way", don't use loops where not needed...since you have end points and number, use linspace
ST = 3; %declare SampleTime
N = 250000;
T.Var6=linspace(0,ST,N);
You didn't tell us the name for the sixth column, I used the MATLAB default "VarN' form as a placeholder.
Your code has a problem in that you use regular parentheses for assignment where inside the table to write a single value you need {}. It's confusing, I know, but read the section on accessing data in a table; there's a chart that shows all the various addressing modes and what each returns.

ST = 3; %declare SampleTime
N = 250000; %SampleSize
Tnew=linspace(0,ST,N); %create linear space
T1 = [T1 table(Tnew(:))]; %add Tnew to T1
T1.Properties.VariableNames{'Var1'} = 'Time_s';
.
