How to assign a variable name to a cell in a for loop?

I currently have a function that iterates through a data set and removes certain values into an excel file. I want to put all my data in at once (multiple individual tests) and separate out each test data.

I have a cell array named definedsubjects which I want to add into a for loop to take out individual columns, like this:

for i = definedsubjects
    cols = i{:, a};

I want to use the cols variable to individually extract columns. However, when I use a 4x2 array for definedsubjects, i becomes a 4x1 array, only accessing the first column of data.

Any advice on how to fix this would be appreciated!

definedsubjects = num2cell(rand(4,2));
for ii = 1:size(definedsubjects, 2)
    col = definedsubjects(:, ii);
end
