Use the isempty function http://www.mathworks.com/help/techdoc/ref/isempty.html
%Build Cell array (note the curly brackets)
    A{1,1} = [1 4 3; 0 5 8; 7 2 9];
    A{1,2} = 'Anne Smith';
    A{2,1} = 3+7i;
    A{2,2} = [];
Use the isempty function
    isempty(A{2,2}) %Note the difference "{" and "(" brackets
This function will return 1.
Hope this helps. Nate
