Renaming headers in Table

49 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hi,
I want to make a table from an array by using the array2table function. This works perfectly fine for my datasets whereby table headers do not match. But on occassion I have it whereby the data will have headers that are the same. I.e.
'ground_force_px' 'ground_force_py' 'ground_force_pz' 'ground_force_vx' 'ground_force_vy' 'ground_force_vz'
'ground_force_px' 'ground_force_py' 'ground_force_pz' 'ground_force_vx' 'ground_force_vy' 'ground_force_vz'
Is there a way whereby I can to convert from array2table whilst keeping these header names the same ?
Many thanks,

My structure looks like:
data textdata colheaders
1x290 cell 13x290 cell 295x290 double
I wish to make a table using 'data' for the data and 'colheaders' for the table headers.
I have a problem. There are repetitions in 'colheaders', which are:
'ground_force_px' 'ground_force_py' 'ground_force_pz' 'ground_force_vx' 'ground_force_vy' 'ground_force_vz'
'ground_force_px' 'ground_force_py' 'ground_force_pz' 'ground_force_vx' 'ground_force_vy' 'ground_force_vz'
and I receive the following error message:
Duplicate table variable name: 'ground_force_px'.
Question: Can I either delete the colheaders that repeat themselves along with the corresponding data, or can I rename the any colheaders that repeat?
The reason why most work is that there are no repeats of 'colheaders'. However for this particular visit, there are repeats. As such preventing from creating a table.

See note under Steven's answer. "duplicated headers" is the keyword here. Look back your question, you will see why three MVPs couldn't guess it right.

I'm not sure I see the problem.
A = magic(6)
V = ["ground_force_px", "ground_force_py", "ground_force_pz", ...
"ground_force_vx", "ground_force_vy", "ground_force_vz"];
T = array2table(A, 'VariableNames', V)
If you mean you want to have a table where two of the variable names are the same, that's not allowed.
V2 = V;
V2(6) = V2(2);
T2 = array2table(A, 'VariableNames', V2) % Will error

As of release R2019b table variable names don't have to be valid MATLAB identifiers. This means table arrays created with variable names that have gone through genvarname are not necessarily the same as one whose names have gone through matlab.lang.makeUniqueStrings.
A = magic(3);
V = {'hocus pocus', 'abracadabra', 'hocus pocus'};
G = genvarname(V);
T1 = array2table(A, 'VariableNames', G)
U = matlab.lang.makeUniqueStrings(V);
T2 = array2table(A, 'VariableNames', U)

good point! I see the difference.
