Error using cellstr. Shows error for element that doesn't exist.

21 views (last 30 days)
I am getting the following error:
Error using cellstr (line 44) Element 154 is not a string scalar or character array. All elements of cell input must be string scalars or character arrays.
But the array I am trying to conver has size: [153 4]
I am trying to display the data to MATLAB Table (App Designer).
I am saving the data into a cell matrix form then converting to string to display in a table in the app.
TblAllInfo=[app.FMain',ChannelNameFinal',LocationFinal',ChannelFilter'];
app.UITableAll.Data=cellstr(TblAllInfo);

I can duplicate the error using this simple example. So the problem is TblAllInfo{1,2}. It is the 154th element. It is not a char array.
a =
3×2 cell array
{'a'} {[1]}
{'a'} {[2]}
{'c'} {[3]}
>> cellstr(a)
Error using cellstr (line 44)
Element 4 is not a string scalar or character array. All elements of cell input must be string
scalars or character arrays.

The method depends on the data types. Why don't you show some example data?
In my example data, you could use cellstr(string(a))

For now I have added the following code, so that I can proceed with my work. If anyone has any better answers. TIA :)
for i=1:length(TblAllInfo)
Data1{i}=string(TblAllInfo(i,:));
Data2{i,:}=cellstr(Data1{1,i});
Data3(i,:)=Data2{i};
end
app.UITableAll.Data=Data3;

app.UITableAll.Data=cellstr(TblAllInfo(:,1));
