How to add a column to a matrix by matching element (attached data)

Hi I have two matrices A and B with different sizes; B is smaller in size than A. I want to add another column to A by matching elements in both matrices. A small version of my data is as follows:
A=[
1 AUBURN 1 1.035108 1.035108 -64.410133
2 AUBURN 1 1.03706 1.03706 -65.261659
3 AUBURN 1 1.032929 1.032929 -66.801544
4 AUBURN 1 1.037436 1.037436 -65.328455
5 AUBURN 1 1.036071 1.036071 -64.403333
6 AUBURN 1 1.035108 1.035108 -64.410133
7 AUBURN 2 1.042328 1.042328 -64.042951
8 AUBURN 2 1.043484 1.043484 -64.622293
9 AUBURN 2 1.042239 1.042239 -64.048946
10 AUBURN 3 1.040954 1.040954 -64.565492
11 AUBURN 4 1.041164 1.041164 -64.526456
]
B=[
1 AUBURN 1 43.976116
2 AUBURN 2 44.100992
3 AUBURN 3 44.179913
4 AUBURN 4 44.143322
]
The second column in both matrices contain names that I want to be used for matching the elements in both matrices. I want the last column in B to be added to A with the corresponding matched elements. The results should be as C:
C=[
1 AUBURN 1 1.035108 1.035108 -64.410133 43.976116
2 AUBURN 1 1.03706 1.03706 -65.261659 43.976116
3 AUBURN 1 1.032929 1.032929 -66.801544 43.976116
4 AUBURN 1 1.037436 1.037436 -65.328455 43.976116
5 AUBURN 1 1.036071 1.036071 -64.403333 43.976116
6 AUBURN 1 1.035108 1.035108 -64.410133 43.976116
7 AUBURN 2 1.042328 1.042328 -64.042951 44.100992
8 AUBURN 2 1.043484 1.043484 -64.622293 44.100992
9 AUBURN 2 1.042239 1.042239 -64.048946 44.100992
10 AUBURN 3 1.040954 1.040954 -64.565492 44.179913
11 AUBURN 4 1.041164 1.041164 -64.526456 44.143322
]
Any idea?
Thanks

As an alternative, you could use tables to accomplish this. It already looks like your data is formatted as a table. To do it, define A and B as tables with matching column names for the AUBURN data. Then, you can simply run "C = join(A, B);" Since the column names match, MATLAB will automatically match up the rows based on the value of the AUBURN data column.

Take a look at the excel workbooks I've attached. Notice that the columns you want to match between the tables have the same name, "C1". (I have no idea what this data is, so I'm sure you could give it a better name.) Since they have the same name, MATLAB knows to use the data in these columns to match the rows of the two tables. Now, in MATLAB, you can run the following code to get the result you want.
A = readtable('A.xlsx');
B = readtable('B.xlsx');
C = join(A, B);

Assuming A and B are cell arrays, I loop through each row of B, find the corresponding rows in A, and insert the data from B.
% Add column to A
A(:,end+1) = {0};
% Loop through B and add to A as needed
for i = 1:size(B,1)
rowIdx = strcmp(A(:,2), B(i,2));
A(rowIdx,end) = B(i,3);
end

That's why I'm assuming your data are stored in a cell array (or table) once you import them to Matlab, not a matrix. This solution will work of that's the case. JW's solution may be more appropriate if your data are stored in a table.
