I have matrix with several columns and rows. Most of the columns are like (1.02 1.05 1.03 1.04 1.04 1.04 1.04 .. 1.04). No I would like to search in my matrix in each column the point from where the following numbers in the column are equal change the second until the last value to nan.
As an example I would like to change (1.02 1.05 1.03 1.04 1.04 1.04 1.04 .. 1.04) to (1.02 1.05 1.03 1.04 nan nan nan ... nan).
But there are some columns that don't have a point from where the column has the same value until the end.
Thank you for your help.

Hello,
Try this:
% Given matrix A
for i = 1:size(A,2) % go through each column
for j = 2:size(A,1) % through elements in column
if (sum(A(j-1,i) == A(j:end,i)) == size(A,1)-j+1)
A(j:end,i) = NaN;
break;
end
end
end
If you have any questions please ask! This will only replace the values if they're forever equivalent (if it repeats 2,2,2,3, it wont replace the 2,2,2).
Hope this helps!

The comparison
if (sum(A(j-1,i) == A(j:end,i)) == length(A(j:end,i)))
is more expensive than required. The length of A(j:end,i) is size(A,1)-j+1. The explicit creation of A(j:end,i) only to determine its length, consumes time.
A simplification:
for j = size(A,1)-1:1 % through elements in column
if A(j,i) == A(j+1,i)
A(j+1,i) = NaN;
else
break;
end
end

Edited code to include Jan Simon's size(A,1)-j+1, thanks!
