How to multiply 8*8 data sets elementwise?

I want multiply with 1.02 each and every element so new table will be 8*8. How one can use for loop?

[David Fletcher]

If you're just multiplying by the scaler of 1.02 then

Qxxepoch1{:,:}*1.02

will do what you want without a loop

Thanks it works.

Why it is showing that brace indexing is not supported for variables of this type. ?

Can you please help me with it?

Use {} if your data is inside a cell array to reach into the cell to extract the data (like cracking an eggshell to reach the egg inside.) Use () if your data is in a matrix to extract individual elements (like picking an M&M from a bowl of candy.)

M = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9];
C = {M};
2*M(3, 1) % 2*7 = 14

ans = 14

2*C{1} % 2 times the matrix M

ans = 3×3

2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18

% 2 times the element in location (3, 1) in the matrix stored in the first cell of C
2*C{1}(3, 1) 

ans = 14

Just to expand on the information above - your original data was stored in a table. You can't apply the times (*) operator directly on the table, so writing

Qxxepoch1{:,:}

extracts all the data in the table into a matrix. Holding the data in a matrix allows you to apply the times operator to multiply the elements by 1.02. However, as mentioned above, to access the data in a matrix you use the normal indexing with parenthesis () - using brace {} indexing on a matrix will cause the error you experienced. It can be confusing - you just need to be aware of what your data is stored in, and use the appropriate indexing for the task.
