I have an if else statement that runs through a matrix and the answer needs to be in matrix form

n = input('How many sets of data is in the file? \n');
Month = (1:n)';
for d = (1:n)'
Total_Days = ((Weeks_into_Year * 7) + Days_into_Week);
if (0 <= Total_Days(d,1))&(Total_Days(d,1) <= 24) 
    Month(d,1) = 'Jan';
elseif (25 <= Total_Days(d,1))&(Total_Days(d,1) <= 53)
    Month(d,1) = 'Feb';
elseif (54 <= Total_Days(d,1))&(Total_Days(d,1) <= 84)
    Month(d,1) = 'Mar';
elseif (85 <= Total_Days(d,1))&(Total_Days(d,1) <= 114)   
    Month(d,1) = 'Apr';
elseif (115 <= Total_Days(d,1))&(Total_Days(d,1) <= 145)   
    Month(d,1) = 'May';
elseif (146 <= Total_Days(d,1))&(Total_Days(d,1) <= 175)   
    Month(d,1) = 'Jun';
elseif (176 <= Total_Days(d,1))&(Total_Days(d,1) <= 206)
    Month(d,1) = 'Jul';
elseif (207 <= Total_Days(d,1))&(Total_Days(d,1) <= 237)   
    Month(d,1) = 'Aug';
elseif (238 <= Total_Days(d,1))&(Total_Days(d,1) <= 267)
    Month(d,1) = 'Sep';
elseif (268 <= Total_Days(d,1))&(Total_Days(d,1) <= 298)   
    Month(d,1) = 'Oct';
elseif (299 <= Total_Days(d,1))&(Total_Days(d,1) <= 328)
    Month(d,1) = 'Nov';
elseif (329 <= Total_Days(d,1))&(Total_Days(d,1) <= 359)
    Month(d,1) = 'Dec';
elseif (360 <= Total_Days(d,1))&(Total_Days(d,1) <= 364)
    Month(d,1) = 'Jan';
end
end

This is my code and i need to have a matrix answer of multiple months in a vertical column.

You forgot to show us what the answer is supposed to look like. Show us that and we might be able to tell you how to create it.

Is this homework?

[Walter Roberson]

Month = cell(1,n);

and in the loop,

Month{1,d} = 'Jan'   or 'Feb' or 'Mar' etc.

Hint: consider using the second output from histc()

[Nicholas Carlson]

>> Setting_Date_1
How many sets of data is in the file? 
7
>> Month

Month = 

      []
      []
      []
      []
      []
      []
      []

This is what I get when I make the changes you recommend and I can't seem to put a value in that returns a month other than when I put in 1.

Look at this sample code:

Month = cell(1,5);
for d = 1 : 5
  if d == 1
    Month{1,d} = 'Jan';
  else
    Month{1,d} = 'Feb';
  end
end
