Converting table column of cell arrays to column with comma separated values

I have a table where most columns are single values, but two columns are cells that contain multiple values (e.g., 3x1, 4x1, 5x1 cells). I need to convert these columns of cells to columns with comma separated values, so that {'2'} {'3'} {'4'} becomes '2,3,4'. Many rows contain all empty [] cells, and these need to be preserved.
The end goal is that this table needs to be written to a .xlsx file, where the columns with multiple values have all values in a single cell, separated by commas.

A = [11;22;33;44;55];
B = {{'1'};{'2';'3';'4'};[];{'6';'7'};{'8'}};
T = table(A,B)
X = ~cellfun(@isempty,T.B);
T.B(X) = cellfun(@(c)join(c,','),T.B(X))
