For loop with multiple variables

Why does this not success??

values_1=[1 2]
values_2=[2 3]
values_3=[3 4]
values_4=[4 5]
values_5=[5 6]
for i=1:5
 X = num2str(i)
 values_'X'a(i,:)=sum(values_'X'(i,:),2);
end

I'd like to do this using by for loop:

values_1a(i,:)=sum(values_1(i,:),2);
values_2a(i,:)=sum(values_2(i,:),2);
values_3a(i,:)=sum(values_3(i,:),2);
values_4a(i,:)=sum(values_4(i,:),2);
values_5a(i,:)=sum(values_5(i,:),2);

You cannot use like that.......what data you have? what are these values_1, values_2......?

[Ryosuke Saito]

values_1, values_2... are tables. I added the information.

Oh thanks. I understood.

eval Function (Not Recommended) but it will do what you are trying here
