how to nest cell array

i have a 1x36 cell array how do i make it so that if i were to click on the 1x36 cell array each of the 36 values in the row would be a 1x1 cell. Also the "values" are names of units for example "psi" so they are all text no numbers.
im looking to keep the 1x36 cell array and all the 36 1x1 cells

I do not understand your question. Where do you want to click on what? What does "the values are variables" mean? What exactly is "text"? A char vector or a string?
in my workspace "A" is a 1x36 cell array, the values are just units like psi, velocity, density and so on for 36 columns.
i want it so that once i click on the 1x36 cell array in my workspace itll show a 1x1 cell for psi and all the other 36 units.
It does not get clearer. What does "the values are just units like psi, velocity, density" mean? Using valid Matlab syntax is preferred in this forum. I guess:
A = {'psi', 'velocity', 'density'}
What are "names of units". The "workspace" is the list of the variables in the currently running function. Do you mean the "workspace browser"? What does "show a 1x1 cell for psi" mean? Where should be shown what?
Please try to describe your problem more clearly.

If you want to store each of the units in a separate cell you could define your variable as
A={{'psi} {'velocity'} {'density'}};
This way when accessing A{1}
>>A{1}
ans =
1X1 cell array
{'psi'}
>>A{1}{1}
ans =
'psi'
