table2cell — Convert a table into a cell array.
table2cell(T) returns an height(T) by width(T) cell array of table element values.
Syntax
C = table2cell(T)Inputs
| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
T | Any | Yes | — | Input table or timetable. |
Returns
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
B | Any | Converted output value. |
Errors
| Identifier | When | Message |
|---|---|---|
RunMat:table:InvalidArgument | Arguments or table metadata are invalid. | table: invalid argument |
RunMat:table:InvalidIndex | Table indexing is invalid. | table: invalid index |
RunMat:table:InvalidVariable | A table variable name or value is invalid. | table: invalid variable |
How table2cell works
- Each table variable contributes its contents to the corresponding output cells.
- Integer elements retain their exact class and value, including wide int64 and uint64 values.
- Multi-column variables are preserved as same-row slices in the corresponding cell.
Example
Converting Table Elements To Cells
C = table2cell(T)Expected output:
C = cell arrayUsing table2cell with coding agents
Open a RunMat example with live inputs, then ask the agent to explain how table2cell changes the result.
Run a small table2cell example, explain the result, then change one input and compare the output.
