"table" error - "Unable to use a value of type 'cell' as an index"

When I used the example shown in the function "table" on Matlab user website- it throws this error "Unable to use a value of type 'cell' as an index". Not sure why. Can anyone help?

Which of the seven examples on the table documentation page are you running?

Which release of MATLAB are you using? Does the example that you're trying to run from the online documentation exist in the locally installed documentation for the release you're using?

Can you copy and paste the exact code you run and the full text (everything displayed in red) of the error message into a comment on this question? The exact text may include details that will be of use in determining the cause of the problem.

Were you doing the Row Names example where they index the first dimension with a cell array of character vectors?

Which MATLAB version are you using?

Answer 1

[Walter Roberson]

You accidentally created a variable named "table" so matlab thinks you are trying to index the variable.

Of course I did (<facepalm>)

Thanks a lot.
