Hello,

I have 6 tables in one data set and I would like to check if any of those are empty and display names of those that are empty in a 'msgbox'.

Here's my code:

tables = {tbl1, tbl2, tbl3, tbl4, tbl5, tbl6};

table_names = {'table1','table2','table3','table4','table5','table6'};

find_empty = cellfun(@isempty, tables);

if sum(find_empty) > 0

text_to_display = 'No data for ' + table_names(find_empty)

msgbox(text_to_display)

end

for example: The message box display should look something like "No data for table1 table2".

Appreciate any help

You need to create such a text string using sprintf() before calling it in msgbox.

text_to_display = sprintf('No data for %s',sprintf('%s ',table_names{find_empty}));
