Column Format in UI Table

I have table array in data of UI table.

There are a few columns in my table:

Num1 Num2 Text

5.2345 4.2345 JN

-> I would like to have only two decimals in the first two columns. What is the best way to pull this of? I would like that data in the UI table remains table array.

hey,

you can set the format of your table as follows using 'ColumnFormat' property. Are you looking for something like this?

Case: Programatically creating GUI

f = figure('Position', [100 100 752 250]);
t = uitable('Parent', f, 'Position', [25 50 700 200]);
t.ColumnName = {'Num1','Num2','Text'};
t.Data = {5.2345, 4.2345,'JN'};
t.ColumnFormat = {'bank' 'bank' []};

Case: StartupFcn as follows (App Designer)

 function StartUpFunction(app)
     app.UITable.Data = {5.2345, 4.2345,'JN'};
     app.UITable.ColumnFormat = {'bank' 'bank' []};
 end

Hi,

You can use format as shown below.

format bank
table.Data=table.Data % to update the table data to current format

Hi,

thank you for your answer. I tried changing the format as you suggested.

It is true - when I open the variable from workspace, there are only 2 decimals.

But, the table in the app remains the same (I still have 4 decimals). And I want to change the number of decimals in the app.

Hi,

You can try changing the format in the function where you update the table contents.

[Klemen Peter Kosovinc]

I did actually. No success. :(

[Navya Seelam]

Can you attach your code?

[Klemen Peter Kosovinc]

I have app, which I made in appdesigner. I added table object.

-> In the code I fill the UI table with data.

exampleTable = table();

exampleTable.num1 = 5.2345;

exampleTable.num2 = 4.2345;

exampleTable.Text = {'JN'};

app.UItable.data = exampleTable;

---- added lines -----

format bank

app.UItable.data = app.UItable.data;

The format command has no effect on graphics. You should follow Ankit's solution

Hi,

The issue can be resolved by passing the data to uitable from cell array rather than table.

[Klemen Peter Kosovinc]

Yes, I know that. But I do not want to use cell array rather than table. I want to use table, because I can then index the columns with the column names.
