Unexpected MATLAB Operator ':'

I have created a MATLAB Function that I want to be able to read a table that contains the name of Hardware (Column1), Instruction (Column2), and Step (Column3). Each Row represents and instruction for a piece of hardware. The table containing these instructions is in the base workspace and after loading it using evalin to a variable 'x' I want to iterate through each row so I can output the instructions for each piece of hardware accordingly. However when using the ':' operator to interact with the table I receive a "Unexpected MATLAB operator ':' " error. I can index a table using x(1,1) (row 1 column 1) but not by using x(:,1) (all contents of column 1) which worked on the same table in a MATLAB script. Here is the MATLAB script that runs and is what I want to do:
contents = evalin("base","commandSequence");
header = {'Hardware' 'Instruction' 'Step'}
contents.Properties.VariableNames = header;
disp(contents)
Step = 1;
for iRow = 1:Step:height(contents)
hardware1 = contents{iRow,'Hardware'};
hardware = string(hardware1);
switch(string(hardware))
case 'Contactor1'
Instruction = contents{iRow,"Instruction"};
Step = contents{iRow,"Step"};
case 'Contactor2'
Instruction = contents{iRow,"Instruction"};
Step = contents{iRow,"Step"};
case 'Contactor3'
Instruction = contents{iRow,"Instruction"};
Step = contents{iRow,"Step"};
case 'Voltage'
Instruction = contents{iRow,"Instruction"};
Step = contents{iRow,"Step"};
end
end
Any idea what I'm doing wrong and how I can implement something similar in a MATLAB Function block?

Code inside MATLAB Function:
function [Contactor1, Contactor2, Contactor3, Voltage1] = fcn()
coder.extrinsic('evalin', 'height');
contents = evalin("base","commandSequence");
header = {'Hardware' 'Instruction' 'Step'}
contents.Properties.VariableNames = header;
disp(contents)
Step = 1;
for iRow = 1:Step:height(contents)
hardware1 = contents{iRow,'Hardware'};
hardware = string(hardware1);
switch(string(hardware))
case 'Contactor1'
Contactor1 = contents{iRow,"Instruction"};
Step = contents{iRow,"Step"};
case 'Contactor2'
Contactor2 = contents{iRow,"Instruction"};
Step = contents{iRow,"Step"};
case 'Contactor3'
Contactor3 = contents{iRow,"Instruction"};
Step = contents{iRow,"Step"};
case 'Voltage'
Voltage1 = contents{iRow,"Instruction"};
Step = contents{iRow,"Step"};
end
end

Also you noted that using evalin is not wise. Why is that? I initially was reading in an excel file containg the table, but someone mentioned not to read in a non changing table continously in a MATLAB Function. The whole purpose of this block is to read in a Command Sequence matrix/table/file (whatever best works with simulink in external mode), and parse out the instructions to the rest of the model. If there is some block I can simply plug into my model that can easily feed the model a matrix in external mode I could use that but all the From Workspace blocks did not work.

It turns out the issue had something to do with the way I was inputing the file to the MATLAB Function. I was able to fix it by inputing the data as a numerical matrix parameter. I went to "Ports & Data Manager" and changed the scope of the workspace variable from "Input" to "Parameter". I was then able to pass it in by:
function [Contactor1, Contactor2, Contactor3, Voltage1] = fcn(commandSequence)
The matrix had to be numerical (commandSequence) and I was then able to perform the for loop the way I had it.
