Doubles and cell array in uitable

trying to get variable double arrays and one (1xn) cell array in an uitable.

Error: Error using uitable Values within a cell array must be numeric, logical, or char

if i try to convert it i get the following error:

Error: data within a cell array must have size [1 1]

that´s my data and uitable:

dat = [double1' double2' 1xNcell double3'];

f = figure('Position',[100 100 1000 500]);

columnformat = {'numeric','numeric',{'c' 'd'},'numeric'};
cnames = {'1','2', 'string','3'}; 

t = uitable('Parent',f, 'ColumnName',cnames, 'Position',[25 50 950 450],'Data', dat)

Can someone help me out?

columnformat is a cell array. Three of the 4 cells in columnformat are simple strings. However the third cell contains another cell . Why? It should not. Have you read the FAQ: http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#What_is_a_cell_array.3F

Also, in this line

dat = [double1' double2' 1xNcell double3'];

that won't work if 1xNcell is really a cell array instead of a double array like the other 3. I recommend you split your data up into all doubles, or if you need mixed class data, use one cell array for dat. Either way, you should not have a cell within a cell for columnformat.

Thanks but i still get an error:

Error using set Data within a cell array must have size [1 1]

I used one cell array for dat, including the doubles using num2cell for each (1xn)double array and the string is now included as char. This leads to the error: using uitable Values within a cell array must be numeric, logical, or char

that means i can not use cells for my uitable. It works when i just type in the char in dat={char(1)} but adding more values created an error.

furthermore the chars should be acessed individually (char(i)) and not be written as one string containing all the chars but just whar i entered in the corresponding edit box.

My code now looks like that:

dataCell={Tonstring};  %{}containing a 1x2 cell
A1={double1};          %{}containing a 1x2 double
dat=[A1 dataCell];

set(t, 'Data', dat);
