Loop over a list of variables indexed by numbers

2 views (last 30 days)
Suppose I have a table
Day1Vistors Day1Sales Day2Visitors Day2Sales
NY 10 100 15 45
SF 5 20 10 50
Then I want to calculate Day1SalesPerVisitor, Day2SalesPerVisitor
I would lke to write a loop over variable names like
for i=1:2
DayiSalesPerVisitor=DayiSales./DayiVisitor;
end
How can one operationalize it?

Where your table is T,
for i=1:2
DaySalesPerVisitor{i}=T{:,2*i}./T{:,2*i-1};
end
Alternatively,
A=table2array(T);
DaySalesPerVisitor=A(:,2:2:end)./A(:,1:2:end);

Wanted more general method to run loop over variable names but this would surely work.
