Renaming Variable Names in Table Matlab

Hi All,

I have been trying to rename the variable names to a table. I've been folowing the tutorials and indications given in the Mathworks website but I keep getting the following error message: Scalar structure required for this assignment.

I appreciate any kind of help you can give me.

My code is the following:

Compendium_2019 = table2struct(readtable("2019_Annual_Disability_Statistics_Compendium_ALL.csv", "PreserveVariableNames", true));
tot_population = Compendium_2019(2:54);
tot_population = rmfield(tot_population, {'Var6', 'Var7_1','Var8_1','Var9_1'});

% Things that I have tried and lead to the same error message:
tot_population.Properties.VariableNames{'Table 1.1 Resident Population - States: 2015 to 2018'} = {'State'};
tot_population.Properties.VariableNames([1:5]) = {'State','2015','2016','2017','2018'};

I suspect that since you’re converting it from a table to a structure, the table operations are not appropriate to the structure. Perhaps converting to a structure after changing the variable names would work.

Oh that makes sense! Thank you for your help!
