No sure how this is even possible.
I have a table of type char and im trying to put char array in a location using { } brackets.
It wont work nor will it work with parentshs ()
The char table will only accept an integer
How is that even possible????

Can you also show the specific error and/or warning (if any) that you receive when you try to add data to the table? Show the full and exact text of any messages (don't leave any parts out, don't paraphrase.)

Don't use raw char arrays other than a char row vector. You will eventually be unhappy. Unless you are using a very old version of MATLAB, use string arrays. Next best would be a cell array of char row vectors. With no code and no error msgs, impossible to give specific advice.
I'll assume that by "table", you don't mean MATLAB's table datatype.

I see now that this is probably motivated by this. See my reply there. In short: I think you've accidentally backed into a corner that you don't want to be in. Use string.

And if char really is needed instead of string, then there are ways to proceed, but we need to be told the details of how wide the char arrays would need to be in order to make the best recommendations.
