Do you mean a uitable or an actual Table object? A Table object just stores the data. How you see it depends on where/how you are visualising the object.
For a uitable you can set the
ColumnFormat
property to be e.g. shortEng

Hi Eric,
If you are viewing MATLAB table in Command window, you can change the display format using command ‘format shortE’. For more information on various available format styles, please visit this documentation link.
If you are viewing MATLAB table in Variables window, under ‘View’ tab you can change the ‘Number Display Format’ as required.
Another way of changing display format is through Preferences > Command window > Text display and select the required display format. The changes you make here, will be present in all your future MATLAB sessions.
Hope this helps!
