Matlab table, column with different sized elements

I want to add to my table a column with numerical vectors of different length. Is that possible?

I really want to keep this data in the same table with the rest.

I'm trying to add column 'f'. Example:

 A =

    id          name          length          f

    1           'A'           80           [8 , 9 , 10]
    2           'B'           100          [1]
    3           'C'           5            [10, 500, -1, 2, 3, 4]

etc.

I might end up creating a large, NaN filled vector for each row, and replace them with the values I need, but that is a very ugly solution.

Thank you!

Assume f = {8:10; 1; [10, 500, -1, 2:4]};, then

A = table(f);

should give you what you need. Or, if A is already defined, A.f = f.

Note that when accessing the data you have to use cell indexing to retrieve a vector of doubles, for example A.f{2} will return 1.
