MATLAB: Assignment has more non-singleton rhs dimensions than non-singleton subscripts

decimalsuitable

I am trying to figure out to format the numbers in the uitable to have thousands seperator. I am adding this undocumentd java code lines to achive it but gives me the below error. I can tell if i m using the undocumented code wrong or not? I appreciate any help on this.
c = tp(:,1);
c(1,:)=[];
g = spend_and_elas(:,1);
inf=java.text.DecimalFormat;
ho=char(inf.format(hist_out));
hr=char(inf.format(hist_rev));
k=grps(:,1);
k(1,:)=[];
k(:,2)=num2cell(ho);
% k(:,2)= mat2cell(ho);
k(:,3)=num2cell(hr);
set(handles.tpoints,'data',[ c num2cell(g)]);
set(handles.model,'data',k);

k(:,2)=num2cell(ho);

If num2cell(ho) has more than 2 dimensions (you can check ndims(num2cell(ho))), then
k(:,2)=num2cell(ho);
makes no sense. The left hand side is being treated as 2-dimensional
