comparing two tables or datasets

The question relates to datasets as well as tables. It is stated in the following for datasets only. Assume you have two datasets dsA and dsB, which are of equal dimension with identical variables but are unequal (i.e.
isequal(dsA, dsB)
evaluates "false".
Is there a better way to find the actual row(s) and column(s) (or variable(s)) which are different, than the obvious and tedious one? (Obvious and tedious is to check dimensions, if equal check each variable, apply proper "eq" to each variable)

Look into setdiff(dsA, dsB),
'''If A and B are tables, then setdiff returns the rows from A that are not in B, with repetitions removed. The rows of table C are in sorted order.'''
however, beware that nan~=nan and similarly for entries of categorical arrays which are undefined. undefined ~= undefined
There might be other gotchas that I don't know of, please share.

You can access your data then compare them
dsA={1;2;3};
dsA=mat2dataset(dsA);
dsB={1;2;3};
dsB=mat2dataset(dsB)
%compare
sign(dsA.dsA1-dsB.dsB1)

If you have numeric data, you can use
sign(cell2mat(dsA.dsA1)-cell2mat(dsB.dsB1))

Use a for-loop to loop over the variables and test equality:
LastName = {'Smith';'Johnson';'Williams';'Jones';'Brown'};
Age = [38;43;38;40;49];
Height = [71;69;64;67;64];
Weight = [176;163;131;133;119];
BloodPressure = [124 93; 109 77; 125 83; 117 75; 122 80];
% Two tables, Height is different
T1 = table(Age,Height,Weight,BloodPressure,...
'RowNames',LastName);
Height = flipud(Height);
T2 = table(Age,Height,Weight,BloodPressure,...
'RowNames',LastName);
props = T2.Properties.VariableNames;
for ii = numel(props):-1:1
eqvars(ii) = isequal(T1.(props{ii}),T2.(props{ii}));
end
Then look at
eqvars
Which will be true everywhere the variables are equal.

My interpretation is that you want varfun to work like cellfun in that cellfun can work on two cell arrays at once:
C1 = {1, pi, magic(3)}
C2 = {2, pi, magic(3)}
cellfun(@(x,y)x-y,C1,C2,'UniformOutput',false)
Which seems reasonable enough if two tables have all of the same variables..

table1=table(....)
table2=table(....)
%comparison
s1=table2struct(table1)
s2=table2struct(table2)
if isequal(s1,s2)
disp('table1 and table2 are equal')
end
However, I agree there should be an overloaded function isequal in the table class. As a previous commenter already said: If you expect NaN in your table, you have to use
isequaln
instead of
isequal

Can you provide a recipe for that. It seems to work fine for me:
>>t1 = table([1;2;3]);
>>t2 = table([1;2;3]);
>>isequaln(t1, t2)
ans =
1

There are no pointers involved in my code, t1 and t2 are completely different instances. Perhaps you have missing values in your tables, in which case you'll probably want to use isequaln.

isequaln(table1 ,table2) possibly your error derives from the fact that if there are nans isequal will show false.
