A = 90.6848 72.5836 54.4646 36.3276 18.1728
99.7018 79.8089 59.8924 39.9521 19.9880

very simple
Please follow this step
Matrix_Column= A(1:4,:);

Sorry for the confusion. Like all those rows whose first value is greater than 99 and less than 140, i.e. rows 2, 3 and 4

No worries. I needed to understand what you want.
This works:
Extracted = A((A(:,1)>99) & (A(:,1)<140),:);

With
A(1:4,:)
you still get a 2D matrix as result
If you want to pull elements and get a 1D vector then
A([1:4 1:end])
same elements, lined up, 4x5 now 1x44
if you find these lines useful would you please mark my answer as Accepted Answer?

If the original matrix has the dimension [8 x 5] and A M wants to extract 4 rows, how could the result be a [1 x 44] vector? Your "1:end" means "1:numel(A)" here and is not useful.
