combine cell data into column

Hi everyone,

I have a cell data set as can be seen in the attached picture. I would like to make one big column/array with all the values from the cells.

Can anybody help?

Answer 1

M = vertcat(C{:});

where C is your cell array; M will be your big column vector.

thanks, this is even better!

Do you want a single very tall column vector, or a 2-D matrix with each column vector in its own column?

Did you try a simple for loop?

for k = 1 : numel(ca) % ca is your cell array
    thisCellContents = ca{k};
    if ~isempty(thisCellContents)
        if k == 1
            columnVector = thisCellContents;
        else
            columnVector = [columnVector; thisCellContents];
        end
    end
end

thanks, this was what I was looking for. One more question: if my cell dataset would be two cell row and I wanted two tall colums vector, how would you do that?
