turn a row in a timetable into a column in matlab

To turn a row in a timetable into a column in MATLAB, you can use transpose and indexing, as well as cell arrays if you want to preserve the variable names. Here is an example:

main.m
% Create a timetable
timetableData = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9];
rowNames = {'Row1', 'Row2', 'Row3'};
varNames = {'Var1', 'Var2', 'Var3'};
timetable1 = timetable(timetableData, 'RowTimes', rowNames, 'VariableNames', varNames);

% Transpose the timetable and access the desired row using indexing
columnData = timetable1'; % Transpose
desiredRow = columnData.Var1'; % Access the first variable (corresponding to row 1) and transpose back

% Alternatively, use cell arrays to preserve variable names
columnDataCell = table2cell(columnData); % Convert to cell array
desiredRowCell = columnDataCell(:, 1); % Access the first column (corresponding to row 1)

14 lines

In this example, timetable1 is a 3-by-3 timetable with row names and variable names. columnData is the transposed version of timetable1. To access the desired row, you can use indexing with Var1, which corresponds to row 1 after transposing. The result desiredRow is a column vector.

Alternatively, if you want to preserve the variable names, you can convert columnData to a cell array using table2cell, and then access the desired column using {} indexing. The result desiredRowCell is also a column vector, but with a cell array data type.
