How do you display calculated values in uitable without using set(handle​s.uitable,​'data',val​ue)?

I created a GUI using GUIDE that consists of a 7X3 table (uitable1) and a pushbutton (Calculate). The pushbutton places 7 calculated values into the first column of uitable1.

I would like to place those values into the first column of uitable1 without using set(handles,'data',value) because after the calculations are made, I still would like to edit the second column of uitable1. However, because I used set(handles,'data',value),I cannot edit the 2nd and 3rd columns of uitable1.

Essentially, I would like to display the calculated values in the table without actually setting it using set(handles,'data',value)

Thanks in advance,

No can do...there's nothing to display if there's no value in the 'data' property.

You can let the user edit the data, though, set the 'columnEditable' logic array True for those which are to be user-changeable.

You'll have to write all the callback stuff, etc., etc., ...

Perhaps it should be an edit box instead? Or use an edit box first, then the uitable?

uitable creates a two dimensional graphic table component.
  uitable creates a table component using default property values in
  the current figure window. If no figure exists, one will be created.

    uitable('PropertyName1',value1,'PropertyName2',value2,...) creates a
    uitable object with specified property values. MATLAB uses default
    property values for any property that is not specified.

    ... 
    Execute GET(H), where H is a uitable handle, to see the list of uitable
    object properties and their current values.
    ... 
    Execute SET(H) to see the list of uitable object properties that can be
    set and their legal property values.
