Automatic resize of tables in MATLAB

I have been unsuccesfulyl trying to resize MATLAB tables so that it would automatically fit column width to size of maximum value in the column.

There are some solutions posted but none are working for me.

Is there any simple solution for this problem?

I am attaching mlx code and Example of an error in the attached picture.

Basically my COMBO variable has quite long values and I would like column to be automatically resized otherwise I cannot see the vaue in the pdf or html output.

My input is table defined in the data, so if you change that it should run (at least until the error)

This is a rather complicated way I found here

https://ch.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/98616-is-there-an-option-for-the-uitable-object-which-allows-the-width-of-the-columns-to-adjust-according

Otherwise, if ther is any simpler solution its great. Its strange if there is no simler solution....

Have you tried java object written here?

https://undocumentedmatlab.com/page/27

jScroll = findjobj(hTable);
jTable = jScroll.getViewport.getView;
jTable.setAutoResizeMode(jTable.AUTO_RESIZE_SUBSEQUENT_COLUMNS);

You can get findjobj function from FEX below link:

Hi,

cellfun(@length, x) provides the lengths of the individual entries (without a loop). It does however not count the number of digits for a number....

Hope it helps,
