Uitable - data types

Hi,

I have an interface with two different GUI windows each with a different uitable. Both contain numbers, and both are formatted with editable columns formatted as 'Custom - Bank' format.

In the cell edit callback, when using the "get" function one table produces data in a double format, and the other in a cell format.

handles.Data = get(handles.DataTable, 'data')

Why could this be? What controls this?

I am absolutely baffled. I want to work with my data in the 'double' form.

Thanks in advance,

Matt

Matt - how are you initializing the data in each table? Are you doing something different so that one table is formatted as a cell array?

[Matt]

Hi Geoff, not that I know of but I wrote both of these GUI windows months ago, and i'm not 100% sure. It seems I must be, but I can't see where (this is a big piece of software by my standards).

I gather the initialization dictates the format of the data I retrieve from the table? If so, what could I have done to initialize it differently?

Thanks for the swift response.

Hold any thoughts - I think I may have just found somewhere I initialized it with zeros!

[Matt]

Doh, in my thousands of lines of code I have just spotted that I previously preallocated an array with zeros, modified it, then pushed it into the data table.

That explains why the data retrieved from it was in the 'doubles' form. I can do the same for my other table to get data out in 'doubles' form.

Thanks Geoff - I'm in business again - what i'm trying to do should be much easier now.

Glad that it worked out, Matt!

Since you figured out the problem, can you post that as an answer?

[Matt]

Of course, thank you. Have a good day.
