Append Row to bottom of table

One of the ways to achieve the output you mentioned is to use string/cell/categorical data type for the variables as it is not possible to denote '-' i.e. a dash in numeric data type

%Categorical
Name = categorical(["Pears"; "Apples"]);
Amt = categorical(["5";"10"]);
Price = categorical(["$1";"$1.5"]);
Change = categorical(["$0.5";"$0.25"]);
y = table(Name,Amt,Price,Change)
y = 2×4 table
     Name     Amt    Price    Change
    ______    ___    _____    ______

    Pears     5      $1       $0.5  
    Apples    10     $1.5     $0.25 
var = categorical("-");
y(3,:) = {categorical("Orange"),var, var, var}
y = 3×4 table
     Name     Amt    Price    Change
    ______    ___    _____    ______

    Pears     5      $1       $0.5  
    Apples    10     $1.5     $0.25 
    Orange    -      -        -

Right.

To emphasize slightly: numeric variables cannot be set to be blank or to dash : if you need those output, you need to use one of char or string or categorical.

Or to display with dollar signs, for that matter.

Teodore, to get what you are looking for, I recommend writing your own pretty-print function that does exactly what you need. That's kind of what Dyuman has done. Table display just isn't intended for that kind of output.
