How can I change the data type of a column?

Hi,

I have a martix with multiple colums and i want to change the data in one column to the data type "char". How can i do that?

You can't change the data type of part of a variable. You might get close to what you mean with a cell array.

I suggest turning your matrix into a table. Each table variable can be a different data type. To change, you could simply do the following:

tbl.Var2 = char(tbl.Var2)
