targeting a single piece of data from an array
Show older comments
I have an array of values, 5 columns, 30 rows. Trying to get a min and max from the array, but all that gets returned is the whole row of data, being the row with the lowest values, and the row with the highest values. what i need is the single lowest value and single highest value.
Thanks.

[z,ii] = min(x(:));
[rws,cls] = ind2sub(size(x),ii);

min(min(x))
and
max(max(x))
Or
min(x(:))
and
max(x(:))

There are two ways to do this. One way is to do as @Andrei showed above, or you can do this in two steps as I show below
[temp,weekidx] = min(x);
[y,minYear] = min(temp);
minWeek = weekidx(minYear)
