Which numeric type works for function table()?

The data I want to put into table were originally double, and I used the table function on them and I got:

Undefined function 'table' for input arguments of type 'double'.

I used the single() function to convert them into single numeric type and then use table function but then I Get this:

Undefined function 'table' for input arguments of type 'single'.

Which numeric type works for the table function, and how to convert data to it?

OR, is there a way I can use table() while still preserving the numbers as double?

[per isakson]

Which release do you have? table appeared in R2013b or R2014a.

I have R2013a and R2014a installed.

In R2013a table is not available. For an example of table, Create table from workspace variables it returned

    Undefined function 'table' for input arguments of type 'cell'.

With R2014a I can run the examples and create tables with both double and uint16 (and all the rest - I guess)

See also dataset in the Statistic Toolbox, which is a predecessor to table. dataset appeared several years ago. Doc says:

    The dataset data type might be removed in a future release. To work 
    with heterogeneous data, use the MATLAB® table data type instead. See
    MATLAB table documentation for more information.
