How to insert datetime data into table ?

I have a 2976x1 datetime data that contains date and time from 01-Dec-2016 00:15:00 to 01-Jan-2017 00:00:00 with time different is 15 mins. How can I insert this data into A(:,2) of matrix A size 2976x4 table.

Thank you in advance

A{:,2} = TheTimeData(:);

Thanks for your suggestion Walter Roberson. But it cannot work because TheTimeData matrix is a data type "datetime". The software doesn't allow we insert datetime variables into table array. It shows the error like this "Right hand side of an assignment into a table must be another table or a cell array."

[Walter Roberson]

A.Var2 = TheTimeData(:);

where Var2 is the name of the second column.

Excellent. Finally, it's work. thank you very much Walter Roberson.

Pradya, "The software doesn't allow we insert datetime variables into table array." is only true for parenthesis subscripting. There are several ways to add a new variable to a table. Walter's second suggestion is the most obvious and efficient, but you caould also have created a table with one variable out of your datetime vector, and assigned that to the table with parenthesis subscripting, or even just concatenated it onto the right side.

If the times are somehow "special" in your table, consider converting your table into a timetable with your datetime variable as the RowTimes. You can do this using the table2timetable function, specifically the last signature in the Description section on that page. For more information on what you can do with a timetable, see the documentation.
