I have two arrays A = {'a';'a';'a';'a';'b';'b';'c';'c';'c';'d';'d'} and B = [1,2,4,6,2,3,4,6,7,8,9]; length(A)=length(B). How can I create a data structure in work space such that a.values = [1,2,4,6], b.values = [2,3], c.values = [4,6,7] and d.values= [8,9]

A much better idea would be to put them into one structure (or cell array):

[U,~,X] = unique(A);
C = accumarray(X(:),B(:),[],@(v){v});
S = struct('values',C)

Then you can simply get the values using basic MATLAB indexing:

S(1).values
S(2).values
... etc

and the corresponding name is given in U:

U{1}
U{2}
... etc

Using indexing is simpler and more reliable than dynamically accessing variable names. Dynamically accessing variable names is one way that beginners force themselves into writing slow, complex, buggy code that is hard to debug. Read this to know why:

If you also want to use your ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’, ‘d’ field names in your structure, this works:

A = {'a';'a';'a';'a';'b';'b';'c';'c';'c';'d';'d'};
B = [1,2,4,6,2,3,4,6,7,8,9];
[Au,~,ic] = unique(A);
V = accumarray(ic, B(:), [], @(x){x});
S = cell2struct(V, Au, 1)
S = 
    struct with fields:
      a: [4×1 double]
      b: [2×1 double]
      c: [3×1 double]
      d: [2×1 double]

Thanks a lot for the answer. Having tried this code, I am not able to work my way around the "Error using cell2struct - Invalid file name error" for the first entries in A. I tried converting array A to char but even that did not do any help.

My pleasure.

My code worked for me (in R2018a). I have no idea what the problem could be, since I do not know what data you are working with. My code does not create any file names.
