How to display a matlab table in a Matlab App?

I am building an app where the user can select some parameters and press a button "update", which trigger a table to be create. Let's say a table named A.

Now I would like to display this table in a excel like window on my app so the user can see the results of the data update. I can not find which element and how to set it up so that my table A is display in my app in a excel like window where the user could scroll up and down, left and right.

Is that something possible to do and if yes how?

You can use the table component.

My example is based on the following example, which displays MATLAB table in a uitable (user interface table component).

• You can start by adding a table to the application main figure in App Designer design view.
  You can also add the update button in design view.

• Add a private property to the app class for storing the table data (I named it T):

  properties (Access = private)
      T % Table
  end
  

• You may initialize table T in the startupFcn like in the following example:

  % Code that executes after component creation
  function startupFcn(app)
      LastName = {'Smith'; 'Johnson'; 'Williams'; 'Jones'; 'Brown'};
      Age = [38; 43; 38; 40; 49];
      Height = [71; 69; 64; 67; 64];
      Weight = [176; 163; 131; 133; 119];
      app.T = table(Age, Height, Weight, 'RowNames', LastName);
  end
  

• In the button pushed callback, you can update the table like in the following example:

  % Button pushed function: UpdateButton
  function UpdateButtonPushed(app, event)
      app.UITable.Data = app.T{:,:};
      app.UITable.ColumnName = app.T.Properties.VariableNames;
      app.UITable.RowName = app.T.Properties.RowNames;
  end
  

Here is how the user interface looks like (after pressing update button):

Here is the complete code (include automatically generated code):

classdef app1 < matlab.apps.AppBase

    % Properties that correspond to app components
    properties (Access = public)
        UIFigure      matlab.ui.Figure
        UITable       matlab.ui.control.Table
        UpdateButton  matlab.ui.control.Button
    end


    properties (Access = public)
        children = app1.empty % Description
    end

    properties (Access = private)
        T % Table
    end


    % Callbacks that handle component events
    methods (Access = private)

        % Code that executes after component creation
        function startupFcn(app)
            LastName = {'Smith'; 'Johnson'; 'Williams'; 'Jones'; 'Brown'};
            Age = [38; 43; 38; 40; 49];
            Height = [71; 69; 64; 67; 64];
            Weight = [176; 163; 131; 133; 119];
            app.T = table(Age, Height, Weight, 'RowNames', LastName);
        end

        % Button pushed function: UpdateButton
        function UpdateButtonPushed(app, event)
            app.UITable.Data = app.T{:,:};
            app.UITable.ColumnName = app.T.Properties.VariableNames;
            app.UITable.RowName = app.T.Properties.RowNames;
        end
    end

    % Component initialization
    methods (Access = private)

        % Create UIFigure and components
        function createComponents(app)

            % Create UIFigure and hide until all components are created
            app.UIFigure = uifigure('Visible', 'off');
            app.UIFigure.Position = [100 100 322 233];
            app.UIFigure.Name = 'UI Figure';

            % Create UITable
            app.UITable = uitable(app.UIFigure);
            app.UITable.ColumnName = {'Column 1'; 'Column 2'; 'Column 3'; 'Column 4'};
            app.UITable.RowName = {};
            app.UITable.Position = [36 57 251 163];

            % Create UpdateButton
            app.UpdateButton = uibutton(app.UIFigure, 'push');
            app.UpdateButton.ButtonPushedFcn = createCallbackFcn(app, @UpdateButtonPushed, true);
            app.UpdateButton.Position = [36 14 100 22];
            app.UpdateButton.Text = 'Update';

            % Show the figure after all components are created
            app.UIFigure.Visible = 'on';
        end
    end

    % App creation and deletion
    methods (Access = public)

        % Construct app
        function app = app1

            % Create UIFigure and components
            createComponents(app)

            % Register the app with App Designer
            registerApp(app, app.UIFigure)

            % Execute the startup function
            runStartupFcn(app, @startupFcn)

            if nargout == 0
                clear app
            end
        end

        % Code that executes before app deletion
        function delete(app)

            % Delete UIFigure when app is deleted
            delete(app.UIFigure)
        end
    end
end

You can copy an paste the code to app1.m file, just to see how it works (without using App Designer).
