How to add headers to a data matrix

Hi,

I have a question on how I can add headers to a data matrix. What I've done is created a 5x3 data matrix that I'm wanting to be able to go back and add headers to. I'm new to Matlab so I'm not sure if I need to use the fprint() function or if I need to change from CSV to another format to make this easier. My ultimate goal is to have a data matrix with headers that can be saved as a csv and then exported. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cell arrays are often the best way to store a combination of text and numeric:

data = rand(4,3);
header = {'Col 1','Col 2','Col 3'};
output = [header; num2cell(data)]

That worked perfectly. Thank you for your help!

This answer is perfectly fine, but instead of a cell array, a table looks more beautiful. See this answer: https://in.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/178483-how-do-you-add-a-header-to-a-matrix#answer_168011
