Bulk update with thingSpeakWrite to a specified field

In the thingSpeakWrite documentation is an example, how to upload a table of data
....
thingSpeakWrite(writeChannelID,dataTable,'WriteKey',writeAPIKey);
This works, but the data are uploaded in Field1. How can i specifie the field - for example field 5?
thingSpeakWrite(writeChannelID,'Fields',[5],dataTable,'WriteKey',writeAPIKey);
or
thingSpeakWrite(writeChannelID,'Fields',[5],'Values',dataTable,'WriteKey',writeAPIKey);
did not work.
