how to combine multiple data sets into one table if they have different number of rows and columns in matlab

To combine multiple data sets into one table in Matlab, you can use the table data structure. However, if the datasets have different numbers of rows and columns, you will need to handle the mismatch.

Here's an example of how you can combine multiple data sets with different sizes into one table:

main.m
% Create sample data sets
dataSet1 = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9];
dataSet2 = [11 12; 13 14];
dataSet3 = [21 22 23 24];

% Initialize variables for the table columns
column1 = [];
column2 = [];
column3 = [];

% Determine the maximum number of rows in all datasets
maxRows = max(size(dataSet1, 1), size(dataSet2, 1));
maxRows = max(maxRows, size(dataSet3, 1));

% Preallocate the columns with NaNs to handle size mismatch
column1(1:maxRows, 1) = NaN;
column2(1:maxRows, 1) = NaN;
column3(1:maxRows, 1) = NaN;

% Assign the data to the respective columns
column1(1:size(dataSet1, 1), 1) = dataSet1(:, 1);
column2(1:size(dataSet2, 1), 1) = dataSet2(:, 1);
column3(1:size(dataSet3, 1), 1) = dataSet3(:, 1);

% Create the table
combinedTable = table(column1, column2, column3);

% Display the table
disp(combinedTable);

In this example, we have three datasets (dataSet1, dataSet2, dataSet3) with different sizes. We first initialize the variables for each column of the table. Then, we determine the maximum number of rows among all datasets using the max function. We preallocate the columns of the table with NaN values to handle the size mismatch. Finally, we assign the data to the respective columns and create the table using the table function.

Please note that you need to modify the code according to your own datasets and column names.
