How to merge two cells and extract the superlayed values?

I have two cells of dimensions 1X132 each, one cell has the names and the other has numerical values that correspond to each of those names. I want to be able to merge these two cells such that I can later extract the names corresponding to those values, and preferably display it in a plot

a=[[cell1{:}] [cell2{:}]];  % cell1 containng names and the other values
plot([cell2{:}])
xticks(1:numel([cell1{:}]))
xticklabel([cell1{:}])   % requires 2016b and later

Thanks, I'll try that.

What can I do if the numeric values are stored in a column vector and not a cell array?

also, I have 2015a edition

instead of [cell{:}] would be just cell that's it
