Error: Subscripting a table using linear indexing (one subscript) or multidimensional indexing (three or more subscripts) is not supported

I have two weekly time series y1 and y1 with 1199 observations, and I want to estimate the correlation between between the two series using semblance analysis form this program, I used the command below to run the program

semblance(t,y1,y2,100);

where t is dates, y1 and y2 are my variables and 100 is number of scales

This is the code of the program

function s=semblance(t,y1,y2,nscales)

% SEMBLANCE(t,y1,y2,nscales)
% Produces a cross-correlation plot between two timeseries as a function of
% both time and wavelength
% *** Requires Matlab wavelet toolbox
% Type semblance; for demo with synthetic data
% Inputs;
% t         Time axis 
% y1,y2     Datasets to be compared
% nscales   No. of scales/wavelengths to use - not more than length(t)...
% Outputs;
% s     : Semblance; a matrix of values between -1 (anticorrelated), 
%         zero (uncorrelated), and +1 correlated

colormap(jet(256));

First I got this error

Undefined function 'isnan' for input arguments of type 'table'.

Error in semblance (line 41)
y1(isnan(y1))=0; y2(isnan(y2))=0;

However, this function is for detecting the NaN values in the arrays, and since there are no NaNs in my data, I removed this line from the code, then I ran it again

I got another error and I couldn't solve it

Error using semblance (line 42)
Subscripting a table using linear indexing (one subscript) or multidimensional indexing (three or more
subscripts) is not supported. Use a row subscript and a variable subscript.

No metter what I do, I keep getting this error,

Convert your y1 and y2 to arrays before doing anything else:

function s=semblance(t,y1,y2,nscales)

   if istable(y1), y1=table2array(y1); end
   if istable(y2), y2=table2array(y2); end   
   
   
   ...


end

The code is working now, thanks for your help
