Just want to update what I have this seems to work:


count = 0;
for k = 1:length(raw)
if isnan(raw{k,2})
count = count + 1;
end
end
count


count1 = 0;
for k = 1:length(raw)
if isnan(raw{k,3})
count1 = count1 + 1;
end
end
count1


First one is for the NaN in the 2nd columns and I made another since I couldnt integrate it in the first one, so the 2nd one reads 3rd column for NaN.

Now, would I just sum the count and count1 to get the total amount of blank entries in the array?


*However, I don't know if this would work so I can Copy these entries in a new array that you display in order to review and verify the errors

and then remove these defective entries from the array (for which one field was left blank) by
copying only the valid entries to a new array, which is going to be my working database

well...
if you would ever take the time to read up on replies to your OPs instead of just mindlessly producing more questions with the same underlying problem, you would eventually(?) find your way into ML...
i guess that would require you to start THINKING...
and we know that hurts...
