Unable to use min( ) because the table is an index.

3 views (last 30 days)
When trying to use min( ) function, I get an error message saying "Unable to use a value of type table as an index". How can I fix it? The table is a 26999x1 table in Workspace and was imported from an excel spreadsheet.

It also says "Invalid data type. First argument must be numeric or logical."

The table as index error suggests that you accidentally created a variable named min but also tried to call min() on a table.
You cannot apply min() to a table: you need to extract content from the table to apply min()
min(T{:, :} )
for example
