Hello everyone!!!

I have an array with two columns and nominal values.

[N N]

[N N]

[N S]

[S N]

[N N]

[N N]

[N N]

[N S]

[S N]

[N N]

I want to find the pattern

[N S]

[S N]

and merge the cells into one [N N]

How can I do it?

How are your data stored?

Learned something today. Didn't know this data type existed. I don't have the required toolboxes so I can't play around with it.

Your question is pretty straightforward for an array of characters.

How do you get your nominal array?
