why cant I run the dataset functions now?

I have earlier worked with dataset on my previous computer . dont remember which release I had downloaded but abt one year ago I was working with datasets with the same licence that I have now..

cant understand why it is not possible..

when using 'ver' on command window I get (have now downloaded 2017a) this as below and not a list of toolboxes that should appear as I was told.Have written xxxx for my licence nr here:

you did not install the Statistics toolbox .

Go to the Add On Explorer . If you are licensed for the toolbox it will allow you to install it there.

Also note that the table datatype released in 13b in base MATLAB is the replacement for dataset and does not require additional toolboxes. It is also where all development effort has been focused. I'd consider using dataset2table and migrating your code to work on tables.

but is it possible here to use dataset functions like nominal with tables..? (13b)

[Sean de Wolski]

Yes, it would be a categorical, the replacement for nominal/ordinal.

[Muazma Ali]

but can I use the table function as i use for dataset;

t=table('xlsfile'. 'filename.xls')

[Walter Roberson]

readtable() reads from xls files.
