get Data from Cell Arrays

Hey Guys,

This is only an example for the problem i have. A very Simple one, so i hope i get a fast answer.

Code:

a = 1:10;
b = 1:2:20;
c = a.*b;
D = {a;b;c}

D = [1x10 double]
    [1x10 double]
    [1x10 double]

Now if i want to get the 3rd Value of the 1st row ( a = 3) i type
D{1,3}
and it says
??? Index exceeds matrix dimensions.

I need it to be a Cell-Array, cause my actual code contains Numbers and String. How can i get the single Values/String form this Array ?

If u want to know my Problem. I have an Array called GetData.

GetData = 
    [1x41 double]
    [1x41 double]
    [1x41 double]
    [1x41 double]
    [1x41 double]
    {1x41 cell  }

Row 1-5 are Values, I want to plot. Row 6 contains a name.
Now I want to look in the 6th row at the 1st column and get the name.
But if i type GetData{6,1}, I get all 41 names.....

D contains 3 cells, each cell contains an array

D{1}(3)

% {1} to get the first cell,

% (3) to get the third element of the array contained in the first cell
