Is it possible to rename the CELL header

Dear Coder, I have do search on the net, however I cannot find any reference whether we can change the CELL Header into something like newName instead of the default number.

Really appreciate for any feedback.

What is "the CELL Header" ?

I searched the MATLAB documentation for "cell header" but did not get any results that obviously relate to your question.

You may need to provide more information about what is a CELL Header. Which product is this relevant to?

Matlab has a cell array data type. This has no header.

thisisacellarray = {[1 2 3 4], 'aabbcc'; datetime, 1i+5}

I suspect you might be talking about the column numbers in the variable browser, asking if the numbers can be replaced with words.

If I am correct, then No, you cannot do that directly.

However, you might be able to use array2table() to create a table() object. You can then do things like

t.Properties.VariableNames(1:3) = {'year','month','day'};

Now when you openvar('t') then the variable names will be shown at the top of each column

Hi Walter, Yes, you understand my question correctly. Just wonder why MATLAB does not allow modification of the column number into words. Seem I need to change my code now to address this problem. However, another problem arise due to this changes. It is ok, I will make new thread for the new problem Thanks Walter
