Concatenate strings and numbers

I'm using the following code to try and create a "Range" for importing an excel spreadsheet into MATLAB. Instead of getting a single string, I am getting a 1x2 string for CoeffsRange. MaxRows is the number of rows in the Excel spreadsheet that contain data. Here's the code

String1=num2str(MaxRows)

CoeffsRange = ["H2:K" String1]

Strings and chars are different. Take care in how you combine them.

MaxRows = 10;
String1 = num2str(MaxRows) % a char vector

String1 = '10'

CoeffsRange = ["H2:K" String1] % [string char] -> string array

CoeffsRange = 1×2 string array
    "H2:K"    "10"

CoeffsRange = ['H2:K' String1] % [char char] -> char vector

CoeffsRange = 'H2:K10'

CoeffsRange = "H2:K" + String1 % string + char -> string

CoeffsRange = "H2:K10"

CoeffsRange = strcat("H2:K",String1) % or use strcat()

CoeffsRange = "H2:K10"
