Hello I have an editable uitable in Matlab GUI. I have a pushbutton to clear the contents of the uitable that is entered by the user. However, anytime I clear the table and reenter text I get a NAN error.

The code I am using to clear the data is as follows.
set (handles.uitable1, 'data', cell(size(get(handles.uitable1,'data'))));
How do I prevent the NaN error so that I can reenter text into the table.

I cannot reproduce the issue based on your code. What is your ColumnFormat set to for your uitable? Are you getting the NaN showing up in the table or when you process the table?

The column format is set to 'let matlab choose' so when I run the code, the user is able to enter text into the cells of the table. However, as soon as I use the push button I created to clear the contents of the uitable, if the user wants to enter text again into the cells of the uitable I am getting the NaN error. The code I'm using for the push button is the code seen above.

set the column format to char. Your issue will be solved. You can do that by using the Property Inspector of your uitable or by using
set(handle.uitable,'columnformat',{'char'...});
