I have a cell matrix of mat = [ 1 0 0 4;0 2 0 4], i want to find the sum of the all the entries having value 0. in the case of given example the entries having count 0 are 4; so sum will be 4. how can i do this.

NNZ is the dedicated function to do this:
nnz(~mat)

Note that nnz(~mat) will be poor even for large sparse matrices, because if mat is sparse, then ~mat must create a large and rather dense logical matrix. Better then would be to use a form like:
numel(mat) - nnz(mat)
In my tests, for a large fairly sparse matrix like that generated by Matt in his comment, my form was the fastest.
