Group data in bins

I have a file with data numbers. I would like to group them , let's say in "bins", by a specific step (eg minimum value is 0, maximum is 20. So I would like to make bins by 0.5 step and make groups with these values).
I think this:
% Define the bin edges you want
EDGES = 0:0.5:20;
% Bin the data according to the predefined edges:
Y = histcounts(x, EDGES);
But the point is that I would like to take the y values that correspont to these bins.
Could you help me please?

If you provide a small set of input data, and show the desired output, members should be able to help you better.

The first output of histcounts is the count of items in each bin.
You could use this syntax to at least determine which bin each X value was assigned to. You could probably use that to then group the y values, too.

Hope this is close to what you are looking for.

If you just need to know in which bin each element falls, use discretize.
E = 0:11;
x = 10*rand(20, 1);
bin = discretize(x, E);
result = table(x, bin)
If your data could take on the values 9 and 10 and your edges vector was 0:10 the last bin would contain both those elements with value 9 and those with value 10. The last bin contains both its left edge and its right edge, while the other bins contain their left but not their right. That why the edges vector goes to 11.

In that case, i would look into grpstats or groupsummary. You might also be interested in using findgroups in conjunction with splitapply.
