when converting a time into an array I lose the date column

ans =

'timetable'

cc=table2array(tab)

[Walter Roberson]

You have datetime objects for your Data. Your Profit is datatype double. You are trying to create an array. Arrays must have the same datatype for all entries. You would therefore either need to convert Profit to datetime or else convert the datetime entry to double. What double would you like to convert the datetime to?

What are you actually trying to do?

Answer 1

The first class is a 16x1 timetable. This means the time column is not a variable but is the indexing column.

You don't have to convert this into a table to have access to your data. You can use your_table.Profit(1) to return 7.9867e5 for example. If you need the date, then use your_table.Time(1).

If you still wish to convert this into a table, you can do as following:

for i = 1:length(a.Time)
    cc{i,1} = your_table.Time(i);
    cc{i,2} = your_table.Profit(i);
end

"(i want to use it using uitable and display it in a table)"

Convert the timetable to table and use accordingly -

tableName = timetable2table(tableName);

fig = uifigure;
uit = uitable(fig,"Data",tableName);

[Walter Roberson]

Right. uitable() that are children of uifigure() can handle table() objects directly.
