How do I onehotencode a table without encoding variable names?

3 views (last 30 days)
When I try to onehotencode a table, the onehotencoder also encodes the variable names in addition to the category labels. I don't want this. I only want to encode the category labels.
I attached the table I want to onehotencode and the table that results when I execute this code:
B = table();
for i = 1:size(MyTable,2)
B = [B, onehotencode(MyTable(:,i))];
end
As you can see from the resultant table, category variable names are also encoded.
Thank you!

B = table();
for i = 1:size(MyTable,2)
B = [B, onehotencode(MyTable.(i))];
end
You may consider using width instead of size(MyTable,2)
