I have created a list which contains several lists in the following code.
a = [{'poh',3,4},{'v',5}]
a=[{'poh',3,4},{'v',5}]
a =
1×5 cell array
{'poh'} {[3]} {[4]} {'v'} {[5]}
Matlab interprets the elements as cells, but they should be treated as strings or integers/floats. Also, I want a(1) to equal {'poh',3,4} not 'poh' so elements within the sublist can be accessed by referencing it, for example, a(1)(2) = 3. Does anyone have suggestions regarding how this can be done?

You are being confused by the display format that MATLAB uses to emphasize that you are dealing with a cell.
1×5 cell array
{'poh'} {[3]} {[4]} {'v'} {[5]}
is saying that a(1) is {'pho'}, which is correct: when you use () indexing on a cell array, you get back a cell array rather than the contents.
There were a lot of releases in the past where it would have presented the output as
'pho' [3] [4] 'v' [5]
which is just a choice of formatting.
The display is not telling you that a{1} is {'pho'} but rather that a(1) is {'pho'}

"I have created a list which contains several lists ..."
MATLAB does not have "list" class. What you show is one single cell array formed by concatenating two cell arrays together (because the square brackets [] are a concatenation operator, not a "list" operator (which does not exist)).

In Matlab cell arrays are the only type that can store heterogeneous data.
Just change the outside [] to {} if you want to have nested cell arrays.
a={{'poh',3,4},{'v',5}}
a{1}{2}
