Use unique on a cell array containing two columns

Hello,

I keep on getting this error when applying the unique function to my data. The data consits of a cell array with two column which are different compination of brainregion.

This is the error I get:

Unable to group rows using unique values of the table variable 'BRAINREGION' because it is a cell array with more than one column.

My code:

GroupingVariables3 = {'BRAINREGION'};

[DataTable3,~,ix3] = unique(DataTable(:,GroupingVariables3),'rows');

I hope someone can help :)

It would be much easier to help if you uploaded your data (or a small subset that exhibits the error) in a *.mat file.
