How do I change cell array to matrix?

This question has been asked several times but none of the answers have helped me so far.

I have a cell array, C, that is 5 x 6 with each cell being 1 x 1.

How do I get a resulting 5 x 6 matrix with all indices being treated as numbers? I have used cell2mat(C) but that just results in the error 'Dimensions of matrices being concatenated are not consistent.' Shouldn't this work since each cell is 1 x 1?

@K: please upload your cell array in a .mat file, by clicking the paperclip button.

No.

Consider:

C = {{rand(2)}, {rand(3)}}

C =

    1×2 cell array

      {1×1 cell}    {1×1 cell}

The actual cell array is much larger. But I attached it..

The numbers are stored as character arrays, the reason the dimensions did not match.

Simply convert them to a numeric array:

N = str2double(A1)
