MATLAB: Indexing a cell array column from multiple sources

Hi, I need to index a column of a 'results' table using different different sources.

The first row is empty (' '), the rows after that are the names from a filelist ('FileList.name'), this works fine.

However, the rows after that I'd like to assign elements from my string 'combinedToneNames'.

But I can't get this to work nicely: getting all 3 tone names (see snippet below) to show up below each other in new rows.

combinedToneNames = ['ClowD(-0dB)', 'EF(-0dB)', 'BChigh(-0dB)']; 
results = {'', FileList.name, combinedToneNames}';

This gives the following result, I've clarified it a bit as well as added what I'd want it to be like:

combinedToneNames appears to be a 1×31 char, so I then tried splitting the string on whitespaces ( )

combinedToneNames = ['ClowD(-0dB)' 'EF(-0dB)' 'BChigh(-0dB)']; 
splitCombToneNames = split(combinedToneNames);
results = {'', FileList.name, splitCombToneNames}';

This gave the exact same result as above.

I also tried looping through combinedToneNames:

combinedToneNames = ['ClowD(-0dB)', 'EF(-0dB)', 'BChigh(-0dB)'];
for kk = 1:length(combinedToneNames)
results = {'', FileList.name, combinedToneNames(kk)}';
end

This gave:

Anyone knows how to get information from a char to index different rows?
