Change zeros to Nans only at a certain page in a 3D matrix

1 view (last 30 days)
I have a 3D matrix and I`m ttrying to change the zero elements of a certain page (let`s say the third one) to a NaNs. Can someone please help me? That one liner does not work.....
>> data(:,:,3)(data(:,:,3)==0)=NaN;

It should be:
a(2,2,4)=zeros;
isz=(a(:,:,3))==0;
a(isz,:,3)=nan
Still many thanks to @dbd for the help!

x(x(:,:,3)==0)=nan;
Start from inside out...above is
isZ=(x(:,:,3)==0);
x(isZ,3)=nan;
w/o the temporary indexing array.

Oops. Missed adding the 3rd dimension when made the simplification...since the operation was
isZ=(x(:,:,3)==0)
isZ is 2D logical array -- x(isZ) --> same as x(isZ,1) without explicit 3rd dimension.
As the original shows, you have to address the plane of interest, too...edit'ed the Answer to correct.
Sorry for the typo...trying to clarify just confused.... :(

Hi,
thanks for the fast response. But still I`m not sure that this works......
a(2,2,4)=zeros;
isz=(a(:,:,3))==0;
a(isz,3)=nan
a(:,:,1) =
0 0
0 0
0 0
0 0
a(:,:,2) =
NaN 0
NaN 0
NaN 0
NaN 0
a(:,:,3) =
0 0
0 0
0 0
0 0
a(:,:,4) =
0 0
0 0
0 0
0 0
