calling another matrix in a matrix

I have lots of matrices in my code and in the end ı took minimum values of these matrices which are called yakit_x(x=1:5). Now I need to replace them with conditions I decided to 1 number lower matrix but I dont know how to put it in the code.

like yakit_3 to yakit_2

for i=1:1801
    if n_cevrim(i,1)<1500
        yakit_cevrim(i,1)=yakit_(vites(i,1)-1);
    end
end

I tried as "yakit_vites(i,1)-1" // "yakit_'vites(i,1)-1' " // "yakit_(vites(i,1)-1)" and they didnt work.

So do yo have 5 arrays called yakit_1, yakit_2, yakit_3, yakit_4, and yakit_5?

And I don't know what this means "replace them with conditions I decided to 1 number lower matrix". Please explain.

Don't do this! Creating numbered named variables in your code like yakit_1, yakit_2, etc. leads to downstream coding problems as you have discovered. Instead, use structures or cell arrays or multi-dimensional variables, which will be easy to use. E.g., see this link:
