How to delete entire row if any cell of the particular row is empty

38 views (last 30 days)
Hi, I have the below cell array matrix. Some cells are empty, and I want to delete entire row if any cell is empty(Ex: 2, 3,4). And my final output should be only row1 & row5.
Index name1 name2 visit
1 MM_vrx_ty_98u prb05k 20
2 M_rx_ty_8u prbkv
3 prb05k 50
4 MM_vrx_ty_98u 11
5 GG_VL_ty_4u 9
Kindly help. Sincerely,

row_has_empty = any(cellfun(@isempty, YourCell), 2); %find them
YourCell(row_has_empty,:) = []; %delete them

Input :
Matrix = [[{'a'};{'b'};{'c'};{''};{'b'};{'c'}],[{'a'};{'b'};{''};{'a'};{''};{'c'}],[{'a'};{''};{'c'};{'a'};{'b'};{'c'}]]
Matrix =
6×3 cell array
'a' 'a' 'a'
'b' 'b' ''
'c' '' 'c'
'' 'a' 'a'
'b' '' 'b'
'c' 'c' 'c'

% Answer
Empty_Matrix=cellfun('isempty',Master_BC)
Matrix(any(Empty_Matrix(:,[1,2,3]),2),:)=[] % deleting the entire row
