How Can I change the format displayed by a Table on an App?

Im having this problem: My app keeps rounding the decimals and I dont want it to, it displays only 4 decimal numbers and also it is using scientific notation in some columns and it is a complete mess, how, which and where do I have to put a code to make all my outputs in the same format? Maybe I have to change something in the matrices from where these data come, I'm new to Matlab App designing and Matlab in general.

Look at the last option listed under the ColumnFormat table

https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/matlab.ui.control.tableappd-properties.html#bvboy7l-1-ColumnFormat

Here are a list of formats.

Note that the format doesn't change the values.

how should I build the code? using this or something else? I dont know how to use those commands.

app.UITable.ColumnFormat

You can select any formats you want from the link I provided.

If all columns are the same format,

% Example
app.UITable.ColumnFormat = {'long'};

If you want to specify the format for each column,

% Example for a table with 4 columns. 
app.UITable.ColumnFormat = {'short','long','short','long'}

Hi, this does this really work for UI tables? When I try it, I get this warning (and nothing changes in table display):

Its work but still on scientific format

before

app.uitable1.ColumnFormat = {[]};

after

app.uitable1.ColumnFormat = {'long'};

I also try

app.uitable1.ColumnFormat = {'short g'};

which work if using GUIDE but on AppDesigner didn work

Just change the format on 'Custom Format Editor'

*i try on R2021a

[Waffiq Aziz]

if you have more than one column, you must describe all of them

app.uitable1.ColumnFormat = {[] [] 'long' [] [] []}; % 6 column

[Waffiq Aziz]

Just found the answer after searching on the internet

a bit different GUIDE and APP DESIGNER

app.uitable1.ColumnFormat = {'shortG'};

its work for me

for other format :

The ColumnFormat and the style solutions are the same two solutions I mentioned in my answer above.
