How to acess data if its in cell form?

name Age Salary Gender Vote

patient1 25 20000 M 1

patient2 45 15000 M 0

patient3 12 25000 F 0

T = table({'patient1';'patient2';'patient3'},[25;45;12],[5000;8000;8000],['M';'M';'F'],logical([1;0;0]),...

'VariableNames',{'Name','Age',','charge','gender','vote'});

T1=table2cell(T);

for i=1:3

for j=1:5

matrix{j}=T1(i,j); %assigning first row only in a loop

end

output1=matrix{j-2}; %assigning the Salary value i.e my output should be output1=20000 only (not entire column of salary)

output2=matrix{j-1}; %assigning gender value i.e my output should be output1=M only (not entire column of Gender)

if T1(i,5)==true

Gender_of_person=output2 %error cannot assign cell value

disp name of patient

else

end

for more clarity

my loop first should select first row from the table in that assign

output1=5000

output2='M'

if T(i,5)==true %logical one

then

Gender_of_person=output2

disp name of patient

else

end

then same procedure i have to follow for output2 also

if T(i,5)== true %logical one

then

Salary_of_person=output1 %getting error cannot assign cell value

disp name of patient

else

end

Use curly braces { } to access the contents of tables

T = table( ...
    {'patient1';'patient2';'patient3'}, ...
    [25;45;12], ...
    [5000;8000;8000], ...
    ['M';'M';'F'], ...
    logical([1;0;0]),...
    'VariableNames',{'Name','Age','charge','gender','vote'});
T1=table2cell(T);
for i=1:3
    for j=1:5
        matrix{j}=T1{i,j};             %assigning first row only in a loop
    end
    disp(matrix);
    output1=matrix{j-2};          %assigning the Salary value i.e my output should be output1=20000 only (not entire column of salary)
    output2=matrix{j-1};          %assigning gender value i.e my output should be output1=M only (not entire column of Gender)
    if T1{i,5}==true
        Gender_of_person=output2                 %error cannot assign cell value
%         disp name of patient
    else 
    end
end

    {'patient1'}    {[25]}    {[5000]}    {'M'}    {[1]}

Gender_of_person = 'M'

    {'patient2'}    {[45]}    {[8000]}    {'M'}    {[0]}

    {'patient3'}    {[12]}    {[8000]}    {'F'}    {[0]}

main program:

T = table({'ravi';'karan';'ramya'},[25;45;12],[5000;8000;8000],['M';'M';'F'],logical([1;0;0]),'VariableNames',{'Name','Age','charge','gender','vote'});

T1=table2cell(T);

for i=1:3

for j=1:5

matrix{j}=T1{i,j}; %assigning first row only in this loop

end

disp(matrix);

output1=matrix{j-2}; % output should be output1=5000

output2=matrix{j-1}; % output should be output2='M'

if T1{i,5}==true %checking equality condition of data which is present in column 5

salary=output1 ; % assign salary=5000

task(salary) %calling function

else

end

end

function:

function task(salary)

for k=1:3 % i am getting error ..its not giving correct values

disp(matrix{j,1}) %display name of patient

salary=salary*12;

disp(salary)

end

end

my output should be:

in first loop :ravi in second loop :karan in third loop :ramya

60000 96000 96000

what commands i should write so that i can access table first column data (name of patient)of main program in every loop which i have written in function

[Voss]

% main program:
T = table({'ravi';'karan';'ramya'},[25;45;12],[5000;8000;8000],['M';'M';'F'],logical([1;0;0]),'VariableNames',{'Name','Age','charge','gender','vote'});
T1=table2cell(T);
for i=1:3
    for j=1:5
        matrix{j}=T1{i,j};             %assigning first row only in this loop
    end
%     disp(matrix);
    task(matrix);               %calling function
end

ravi
       60000

karan
       96000

ramya
       96000

% function:
function task(matrix)
    disp(matrix{1});                       %display name of patient
    disp(matrix{3}*12);
end

This looks susp[iciously like another post: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/1664149-i-have-a-list-of-data-and-i-have-to-select-first-5th-column-of-each-row-then-simultaneously-6th-co

I really recommend you read my reply there, and explain what your end goal is, showing clearly what you are starting from and what you want to end up with. Not just code snippets.
