Create a table with values

I'm trying to run an example I found on the MATLAB examples sectioin, But i get an error

LastName = {'Smith';'Johnson';'Williams';'Jones';'Brown'};
Age = [38;43;38;40;49];
Height = [71;69;64;67;64];
Weight = [176;163;131;133;119];
BloodPressure = [124 93; 109 77; 125 83; 117 75; 122 80];
T = table(Age,Height,Weight,BloodPressure,...
    'RowNames',LastName);

Error - Undefined function 'table' for input arguments of type 'cell'.

Error in Untitled5 (line 6) T = table(Age,Height,Weight,BloodPressure,...

Which release are you trying with? Or, have you inadvertently created a variable table? Try

which table -all

to see what's getting resolved. If that's it,

clear table

to restore default behavior. If earlier than R2013b, the online doc is always for current release, and may have much that postdates an earlier release.

table function was introduced in Matlab R2013b, what version of Matlab are you using?

i'm using R2013a, is there anyway to make it work for my version?

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

You can't make it work with your version, you need to upgrade or use cell arrays.

Well, no, you can't make something "work" that you don't have... :)

But, if you happen to have the Statistics Toolbox with your version there's a similar feature without quite as many bells and whistles in the dataset in it.
