How to use doubles and Character together in Uitable

I am having trouble assigning the 'Data' property of uitable.. My data includes columns of doubles and columns of character (arrays?). I tried to make a cell out of all of them, but when it's time to assign it to the uitable, it gives me the following error: Data within a cell array must have size [1 1]

the info, I'd like to show in the table is:

    [11  1  SC  3.3  0.5
     12  2  MC  6.1  0.4
    ...            ]

    dat = 
  [78x1 double]    [78x1 double]    {78x1 cell}    [78x1 double]    [78x1 double]
size(dat) = 1     5  % where it should be 78 * 5 !!

what are my options to appropriately display my data? thank you

newdat = {dat{1}, dat{2}, dat{3}, dat{4}, dat{5}};

I did the modification, but I'm still getting an error:

    ??? Error using ==> uitable
Data within a cell array must have size [1 1]
Error in ==> uitable at 57
        thandle = builtin('uitable', varargin{:});

Hmmm... try

newdat = [dat{1}, dat{2}, dat{3}, dat{4}, dat{5}];

I have:

dat = [78x1 double] [78x1 double] {78x1 cell} [78x1 double] [78x1 double] 

newdat = [dat{1}, dat{2}, dat{3}, dat{4}, dat{5}];

%and I'm getting the following error:

    ??? Error using ==> horzcat
    CAT arguments dimensions are not consistent. 
    Error in ==> ProtoFold>Solve_JointTorqForce_Callback at 2285
                 newdat = [dat{1}, dat{2}, dat{3}, dat{4}, dat{5}];

I converted all double and character arrays to cell and then put them in a matrix & that solved the issue.
