How to detect the uitable on GUI

I wnat to detect whether the uitable on the GUI is empty.

but it shows "Input #2 expected to be a cell array, was double instead."

If I change the data format to cell, it will not be able to enter "all(cellfun(@isempty, data(:)))"

data = get(handles.uitable1);
if all(cellfun(@isempty, data(:)))
    errordlg('uitable is empty','warning');
else
    disp('not empty');
end

how modifity it?

this error is occuring in someother line of code. can you share the complete code?

sure

function varargout = u11ntitled(varargin)
gui_Singleton = 1;
gui_State = struct('gui_Name',       mfilename, ...
                   'gui_Singleton',  gui_Singleton, ...
                   'gui_OpeningFcn', @u11ntitled_OpeningFcn, ...

                   'gui_LayoutFcn',  [] , ...
                   'gui_Callback',   []);
if nargin && ischar(varargin{1})
    gui_State.gui_Callback = str2func(varargin{1});
end

if nargout
    [varargout{1:nargout}] = gui_mainfcn(gui_State, varargin{:});
else
    gui_mainfcn(gui_State, varargin{:});
end
% End initialization code - DO NOT EDIT

Answer 1

[Mehmed Saad]

all(cellfun(@isempty, data(:)))

error is in this line. data(:) is a double array on which you are trying to apply cellfun

also you have uitable1 and Uitable1 which are seperate variables (means two seperate table).

If uitable1 is a table this should be your command

data = get(handles.uitable1,'Data');

and now the data is not a cellarray so cellfun is not required

you can apply isempty directly

For example

t = readtable('patients.xls');
vars = {'Age','Systolic','Diastolic','Smoker'};
t1 = t(1:0,vars);
fig = uifigure;
uit = uitable(fig,'Data',t1);

Now check if it is empty

if(isempty(uit.Data))
t2 = t{1:4,vars};
uit.Data = t2;
end

You can use isempty() to determine if a variable is null.

You can use iscell() to determine if a variable is a cell array.

There is a function called isa() that lets you check whether a variable is of a specified class, like double, uint8, cell, etc.
