Pre allocate memory for unknown variable size

Hello Everyone,
I have a cell array whose dimensions are 1000*1 . These are sensor scans from a laser and always I get a cell array with above dimensions. When the sensor is ON the data gets stored in the above cell array.
So for example in trial 1 laser sensor is ON for 5 seconds then the cell array has data in only first 180 cells,the rest of the cells are empty. In the trial 2 laser sensor maybe ON for 6 seconds and I can get data in 200 cells.
Currently I am using a for loop to iterate through the cell array and check and store data for non-zero elements. But this reduces speed of my code as I am not able to pre allocate memory.
Can anyone suggest an alternative method.
Regards

Please post the code you use. Otherwise it is hard to suggest improvements. Perhaps a cellfun('isempty', C) is sufficient already, or an extra list of occupied indices.

Preallocate to the largest size you will ever need, and for the unused elements, you can set them to a known bad value. eg. NaN, Inf, -Inf, or clear those elements with:
Returned(57:end) = [];
