- Don't call your table table since that will prevent you from constructing tables the proper way with the table function.
- There is no point constructing a cell array to then convert into a table. You can create the table directly.
- What is the class of data? and what is the class of data.StudentID and data.Name ?

grades_incl_final=[cellstr(data.StudentID) cellstr(data.Name) num2cell(grades) num2cell([computeFinalGrades(grades)]')];
array=[grades_incl_final];
table=array2table(array);
table.Properties.VariableNames = {'StudentID' 'StudentName' 'Assignment1' 'Assignment2' 'Assignment3' 'FinalGrade'}
disp(table)
Hi This code creates the table that you can see in the attached picture. My problem is that I want to be able to put more than three assignments into the table. In other words the headings should change depending on the amount of assignments in the 'data' file. If it is easier it is okay if the heading for the assignments are just 1,2,3,4... Can someone tell me how I can do this?

Assuming data is also a table:
t = [data(:, {'StudentID', 'Name'}), ... copy part of original table
array2table(grades, 'VariableNames', compose('Assignment%d', 1:size(grades, 2))), ... conversion of grades to table
table(computeFinalGrades(grades).', 'VariableNames', {'FinalGrade'})] %add final grade
Note that you will have to clear table so you can use the table function that you've clobbered with your table variable.
The bit where I generate the column name for the grades is
compose('Assignment%d', 1:size(grades, 2))

headings=arrayfun(@(i) ['Assignment' num2str(i)],1:numberOfAssignments,'uni',0);
headings=[{'StudentID' 'StudentName'}, headings, {'FinalGrade'}];
grades_incl_final=[cellstr(data.StudentID) cellstr(data.Name) num2cell(grades) num2cell([computeFinalGrades(grades)]')];
array=[grades_incl_final];
T=array2table(array);
T.Properties.VariableNames = headings;
disp(T)

Since R2016b, matlab has had the compose function that would do that arrayfun bit a lot simpler:
compose('Assignment%d', 1:numberOfAssignments)
If I read the code correctly, then numberOfAssignments is size(grades, 2)
