Add a row above row nb 'X' in a cell array

Hello,

I would like to know if there is an easy way in Matlab to add a row above another in a cell array? This would corresponds to the function 'insert' in Excel which shifts all rows below down.

Example:

-Initial cell array= {'a','1';'b','2';'c','3'};

-Add row above row nb 2...

-Final cell array= {'a','1';'','';'b','2';'c','3'};

I have tried to to do it by concatenating a new empty one row cell array but of course this raises exceptions if I want to add a row above the first one or above the last one.

Thank you in advance for your help.

C(n+1:end+1,:) = C(n:end,:);
C(n,:) = {};

Thank you very much Walter, simple and elegant, couldn't find better. Have a good day.

What is n in this case?

In 2018a, this needs a bit change.

C(n+1:end+1,:) = C(n:end,:);
C(n,:) = {[]};

Or it throws an error.

Unable to perform assignment because the size of the left side
is 1-by-3 and the size of the right side is 0-by-0.
