How to include integers and nan values in the same table column?

2 views (last 30 days)
Hello,
I have a table with its size, variable types, and variable names pre-allocated:
varTypes = {'double','string','string','double','double'};
varNames = {'ID','keyName','enabled','timeStamp','timeElapsed'};
my_table = table('Size', [10 5], 'VariableTypes',varTypes,'VariableNames',varNames);
I'd like to fill in the table row by row using a loop. In some of my columns of double type data there are integers and NaN values. When I try to fill in the table, I see the error "Subscripted assignment dimension mismatch". Matlab thinks I'm adding both char data (NaN) and integer data to the same column. How can I add NaN values to a double type variable, and add integers to a column where there are already NaN values?
Thanks for your help.

How did you infer that? NaN is not a char type unless you've written 'NaN' with the quotes.
Most likely the problem is with your filling code, which you haven't shown.
