MATLAB: How to convert this cell array to matrix

cell arraysmatrix

Here is the cell array
 C =
3×3 cell array
    '27.4'     '10581'    '28992816'
    '27.39'    '301'      '824439'  
    '27.39'    '53'       '145167'
when I use cell2mat, I got this
>> D=cell2mat(C)
Error using cat
Dimensions of matrices being concatenated are not consistent.
Error in cell2mat (line 83)
            m{n} = cat(1,c{:,n});

Best Answer

If you were able to convert it into a matrix, the matrix would have to be
[ '27.41058128992816';
  '27.39301824439'; 
  '27.3953145167']
However, that would not be a legal matrix in MATLAB because the number of columns would not be consistent.
Might I suggest that what you want is
str2double(C)
