How to count the number of cells from one column of an array variable table with a certain value?

I'm very new to matlab, I have a table with several columns and almost 10,000 rows, each column contains a different set of data. I need count the number of cells in column 2 that have the number 2 in them (the cells contain numbers 1-9).

So far I have

month=tab(tab(:,2)>1 & tab(:,2)<3 ,:);

res{2}=numel(month);

where res{2} is question number 2

the answer should be 2000, but it's coming in at 11900. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Your code:

month=tab(tab(:,2)>1 & tab(:,2)<3 ,:);
res{2}=numel(month);

is counting all the elements in the rows that meet the condition. See if:

res{2}=length(month);

or:

res{2}=size(month,1);

give you the result you want.
