Change table of structs into columns of data in a table

14 views (last 30 days)
I have many tables which contain anywhere from 2000 - 7500 1x1 structs in one column. Each struct contains a value for x, y and z positions. I need to extract these 3 numbers from each struct and have them in their own columns (as just regular floats). The end result will be a table with a column for x values, a column for y values, and a column for z values.
I've attached an example file (.mat).
What is an efficient way to do this?

Based on your example data this will work. All structs must have the exact same fields, otherwise this will fail
flattened = struct2table(vertcat(data{:,1}));

Thank you this worked perfectly. I just had to change it to
flattened = struct2table(vertcat(data.dog1_pos(:,1)));
since it wasnt a cell array. Cheers
