How to display the loop number as a value in an array?

I have a loop that is accessing data from one array and creating another array of about 500 rows x 4 columns. I want one of those columns to have the value of the LOOP NUMBER (which is not always the same as the ROW number in the new array). disp gives me the correct value, but how can I hold that value and put it into a column?

Is there a problem with storing the loop variable like this in column 1?

for i = 1:100
    data(i,1) = i; 
end

Sorry, I should have specified the new array is a cell array.

This loop is giving me the error, "Conversion to cell from double is not possible."

Is there a way around this?

Change the parentheses in data(i,1) to curly brackets and see if that solves your issues. data{i,1}
