Method 1. Inspects the first three cells ONLY.
A = {
[NaN]
[NaN]
[NaN]
[3]
[3]
[6]
[4]}
if isnan(A{1}) && isnan(A{2}) && isnan(A{3})
uiwait(msgbox('The first three cells are nans'));
else
uiwait(msgbox('The are not nans.'));
end
Method 2. Somewhat more robust and flexible.
% Define starting and ending cell to inspect.
firstElementToCheck = 1;
lastElementToCheck = 3;
nanLocations = isnan([A{:}])
if sum(nanLocations(firstElementToCheck:lastElementToCheck)) == (lastElementToCheck - firstElementToCheck) + 1
message = sprintf('The cells between %d and %d are all NaNs', ...
firstElementToCheck, lastElementToCheck);
uiwait(msgbox(message));
else
message = sprintf('The cells between %d and %d are NOT ALL NaNs', ...
firstElementToCheck, lastElementToCheck);
uiwait(msgbox(message));
end
