convert Matlab array to Latex

I have an array of cells which I want to convert into a latex table.

I know for a simple array I can use the following command:

A = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9];
latex_table = latex(sym(A))

Which will create

latex_table =

\left(\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 2 & 3\\ 4 & 5 & 6\\ 7 & 8 & 9 \end{array}\right)

However, if I have something like this

B = ['Hello World' '2' '3'; 'yes' 'a' '6'; 'yes' '8' 'john']

How can I create a latex table from the matrix B?

You can use the MATLAB latex() method to convert the MATLAB Array into latex table as follows:

B=["Hello" "2" "3"; "yes" "5" "6"; "Sam" "8" "John"];
latex_table = latex(sym(B))

latex_table = '\left(\begin{array}{ccc} \mathrm{Hello} & 2 & 3\\ \mathrm{yes} & 5 & 6\\ \mathrm{Sam} & 8 & \mathrm{John} \end{array}\right)'

If you intend to store "Hello World" inside the 1st element of the MATLAB array, it will yield an error while creating Latex table as it doesn't allow the same. For that, you can use the str2sym() method as follows:

B=[str2sym("Hello world") "2" "3"; "yes" "5" "6"; "Sam" "8" "John"];
latex_table = latex(sym(B))

latex_table = '\left(\begin{array}{ccc} \mathrm{Helloworld} & 2 & 3\\ \mathrm{yes} & 5 & 6\\ \mathrm{Sam} & 8 & \mathrm{John} \end{array}\right)'

Hope this helps!
