Dear Experiences ...
i have three tables ( table A, table B and table C)
table A look like following where first columns contain unique names, and second column contain public names (may contain repeated names)..
      name        sun_name
                 ____________
      Amy        'tomy'    
      Bob        'tomy'     
      Hol        'salmon'    
      Har        'cookies'   
      Sal        'pizza'
second column B look like following
   sun_name       var1(B).....varn(B)
  ____________   _______________
'tomy'         0.0 ....  4.5
'tomy'         4.5 .... 5.2
'salmon'       etc.. 
'cookies'   
'pizza'
table C look like following
   sun_name       var1(c).....varm(c)
  ____________   _______________
'tomy'         0.0 ....  4.5
'tomy'         4.5 .... 5.2
'salmon'       etc.. 
'cookies'   
'pizza'
result table (out) perhaps include all columns .. as follow: out
name     sun_name    var1(B)...varn(B)   var1(C)...varm(C)
the problem here content of name field in table A must be repeated based on other tables ? how to do that please.

      Maybe so?
Table_out = [A,B(:,2:end),C(:,2:end)];
Added:
As said by Guillaume about innerjoin:
A = readtable('1.xls');
B = readtable('2.xls'); 
C = readtable('3.xls');
Tout = sortrows(innerjoin(A,innerjoin(B,C)),1);

        I don't see how your excel tables relate to your original question. There's no repeated key in any of them.
Going back to your original question, it looks like you want innerjoin. I'm not too clear on the relationship between B and C. Are you supposed to have 4 'tomy' after joining these two? Or do B and C have the same number of row and must simply be concatenated:
- option 1: innerjoin
D = innerjoin(B, C);
- option 2: plain concatenation (probably?)
D = [B, C(:, 2:end)];
The join with A is an innerjoin
A = table({'Amy'; 'Bob'; 'Hol'; 'Har'; 'Sal'}, {'tomy'; 'tomy'; 'salmon'; 'cookies'; 'pizza'}, 'VariableNames', {'name', 'sun_name'})
B = table({'tomy'; 'tomy'; 'salmon'; 'cookies'; 'pizza'}, [0; 4.5; 2; 3; 4], 'VariableNames', {'sun_name', 'var1b'})
C = table({'tomy', 'tomy', 'salmon', 'cookies', 'pizza'}', (10:10:50)', 'VariableNames', {'sun_name', 'var1c'})
D = innerjoin(A, [B, C(:, 2:end)])
results in:
7×4 table
    name     sun_name     var1b    var1c
    _____    _________    _____    _____
    'Har'    'cookies'      3      40   
    'Sal'    'pizza'        4      50   
    'Hol'    'salmon'       2      30   
    'Amy'    'tomy'         0      10   
    'Amy'    'tomy'       4.5      20   
    'Bob'    'tomy'         0      10   
    'Bob'    'tomy'       4.5      20
