Convert vector of cells to variables

Hi! I'm importing data from excel and I'm finding the position of the data of interest using findstr and it works fine. My problem is that I want to get a string from the vector of cells (eg. Temperature) and assigning it a vector of digits. This is how I want it to be:

Text={'Temp', 'Humidity', 'Age'}

num=[20 0.8 2; 22 0.85 2.1; 23 0.9 2.2]

Temp=[20 22 23]

Thankful for help Regards Johan

For k=1:numel(Text)
   assignin('base',Text{k},num(:,k))
end

Such remote controlled assigments have severe disadvatnages: They decrease the processing speed massively because the JIT cannot understand the program at compile time anymore. And the debugging suffers even more. Therefore I strongly recommend to follow Walter's answer.

That is not recommended; please see

use dataset array

Text={'Temp', 'Humidity', 'Age'}
num=[20 0.8 2; 22 0.85 2.1; 23 0.9 2.2]

d = mat2dataset(num,'VarNames',Text);

>> d.Temp
ans = 
         20
         22
         23

or

d2 = cell2struct(num2cell(num,1),Text,2);
d2.Temp
ans = 
         20
         22
         23
