how to do a for cycle for cell arrays

Hello,

i have a cell array that is has 20 cells of 1000*20 tables

I am trying to write the following code:

    FA1=data2{1,1}
    FA2=data2{1,2}
    FA3=data2{1,3}
    FA4=data2{1,4}
    FA5=data2{1,5}
    FA6=data2{1,6}
    FA7=data2{1,7}
    FA8=data2{1,8}
    FA9=data2{1,9}
    FA10=data2{1,10}

When I try to transform it into

    for i=1:1:10    
    FA(i)=data2{1,i}
    end

I got an error. I would like to know what the way of doing this properly is.

I thank you in advance,

Best regards,

"I would like to know what the way of doing this properly is."

The proper way is to use simple and efficient indexing to access the data directly from data2.

Anything else is a waste of time (yours and runtime).

And the next question concering indices hidden in the names of variables.

Use an array instead. In your case, data2 is sufficient already. If you really want to call it FA and want to crop e.g. further elements:

FA = data2(1:10)
FA{1}
FA{2}

The best way to extract the first row of a cell array:

FA = data2(1, :)

FA is another cell array.
