Is there any function in Matlab that allows you to read through a column in an array and see if a previous value is the same as a current value? I know there is the "detect change" function block in Simulink and was looking to do something similar with code, however.

x = [1 1 2 3 4 4 5 6 6 6 6 7];
diff(x)==0 %?

That method actually finds the difference between the numbers. I don't want to subtract them, just register a change. For example if my data stream is [ 0 0 4 5 7 3 3 87 2 5 1 1], then something that registers a difference would compare the second value to the first, the third to the second, etc and for every change it would record a 1 in a new array or a 0 for no change. so the stream above would become [0 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0]. This is what the detect change block does. I just want to do the same thing with code.
Thanks

Then what I have above is exactly what you want, it's just the opposite, where I kept differences you want to mark them.
x = [ 0 0 4 5 7 3 3 87 2 5 1 1]
logical(diff(x))

Sean de Wolski would this same approach work for two values from data collected (e.g. day = 1; night = 2) to locate where this change occurs in continuous data if data was stored in a timeseries? Could it be logged as a event(e.g. tsdata.event.EventData = logical(diff(x)) somehow?

Try this:
x=[ 0 0 4 5 7 3 3 87 2 5 1 1]
changedIndexes = diff(x)~=0

Could you extend this to an cell array, please? Thank you!

Use cell2mat() on your cell array first.

what if the table has nan values?

Table variables can be nan, just like double variables. Actually a column of a table has to be a predetermined type, like double, char, int32, or whatever. So if a column is double, then it's allowable for a row in that double column to have a value of "nan".
