I was trying to make a scatter graph for the data I had with the code shwon below:
A= readtable("query.csv");
Depth= A(:,4);
Magnitude= A(:,5);
x= table2array(Depth);
y= table2array(Magnitude);
X=mean(x,"all");
Y= median(x,"all");
Z= range(x,"all");
V= std(Magnitude);
[minA, maxA]= bounds(Magnitude,"all")
S= std(Magnitude);
X
Y
Z
S
scatter(Depth, Magnitude)
However when I run the code, Matlab resonds with the error message:
>> scatter(Depth, Magnitude)
Error using scatter (line 68)
Not enough input arguments.
I am not sure why it says I don't have enough inputs when both variables are clearly defined earlier in the code. Can anyone help with why this happens?
Many thanks

Please show us the complete output from this command:
which scatter -all
/MATLAB/toolbox/matlab/graphics/graphics/scatter.m /MATLAB/toolbox/matlab/bigdata/@tall/scatter.m % tall method

Depth and Magnitude are both tables, not the variables in the table.
scatter(A.Depth,A.Magnitude)
See the table "See Also" link <Access Data in Tables> for how to use the table directly.

Use curly braces {} to access data in a table --
Depth= A{:,4};
Magnitude= A{:,5};
That also avoids using the table2array calls (that return x and y, not 'Depth' and 'Magnitude').
