MATLAB: Assign vector to cell

arraycell arrayvector

I have a vector k, whose length is N.

I have created an empty cell(N,M)=New

Is there a clever way to assign the values of the vector to the first column of the cell? I mean something whose outcome is the same as

for j=1:N
  New{j,1}=k(j)
end

Thanks

 New(:,1) = num2cell(k)

z(cellfun('isempty',z))=[]

for k=1:length(newCell)
    if numel(newCell{k})<2
        m(k)=0;
    else
        m(k)=newCell{k}(1)/newCell{k}(2);
    end
end
