Hello everyone,
I have a table and I want to subscript using a column contain a string array. Basically, the column is repeated countries names and I used unique to get unique values. Then I wanted to get all the available information from the table about those countries. I understand I will lose some data from other columns, but this is not a concern at this time. I get an error message saying “unrecognized row name”
Any other methods can achieve the results? here is my code and my data
Data = readtable('Test.xlsx');
Data.country = string(Data.country);
Data(unique(Data.country),:)

In order to index by a string or categorical in the first index of a table, the values have to have been set as the RowNames property.
filename = 'https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/730924/Test.xlsx';
Data = readtable(filename);
Data.Properties.RowNames = string(Data.country);
Data(unique(Data.country),:)
You can see from this that every row name must be unique.
The indexing done with the first index of a table is not equivalent to a SELECT operator that would select all matches. Instead, the RowName that is set must be unique, must identify exactly one row in the table.

If you want to get at the first match for each country:
filename = 'https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/730924/Test.xlsx';
Data = readtable(filename);
Data.country = string(Data.country);
[~, ia] = unique(Data.country);
Data(ia,:)
