Conversion of uitable Column Names to Table Column Names

Hi, I have a uitable (containing doubles) that I am writing to an excel file by first converting it to a table, then using WriteTable.

I want to include the uitable column names.

My column names are like this:

cnames =

  7×1 cell array

    {'X'    }
    {'Y'    }
    {'Z'    }
    {'FM'   }
    {'diff' }
    {'dy1'  }
    {'dy2'  }

I see that in the conversion from array to Table, there is a field for variable names, however it is in this form:

T = array2table(A,...
    'VariableNames',{'Feet','Inches','Centimeters'}) 

I know I can transpose my uitable cnames to give

cnames =

  1×17 cell array

    {'X'}    {'Y'}    {'Z'}    {'FM'}    {'diff'}    {'dy1'}    {'dy2'}

But Im not sure how to get in the format required for the table.

Thanks

Seems like it doesn't like column headings like '<circ>'

Hi,

You can directly use the transposed cnames as Variable names. As in,

cnames = {'X';'Y';'Z';'FM';'diff';'dy1';'dy2'};
row = cnames';
A = rand(20,7);
B = array2table(A,'VariableNames',row);
