I got error, dimesion mismatch, what does this mean? please help

A = zeros(10,10)

A(1,1) = 'Story'

A(1,2) = 'Force'

A(2,1) = 1

A(3,1) = 3

.

.

etc

??? Subscripted assignment dimension mismatch.

Error in ==> Program at 21 my_result(n+2,1) = 'Story'

Im willing to ceate a table which is contain letters or words and numbers, is it possible? if, its possible could you please help me to fix that error message.

Use cell array:

A = cell(10,10)
A{1,1} = 'Story'
A{1,2} = 'Force'
A{2,1} = 1
A{3,1} = 3
A(2:10,2) = num2cell(1:9);

.

.

etc

It is not possible to create a numeric array that contains a combination of letters and numeric values. The closest you can get is to use a cell array.

A = cell(10,10);
A{1,1} = 'Story';
A{1,2) = 'Force';
A{2,1} = 1;
A(3,1) = 3;

Notice the use of {} instead of ()

Thanks Mr Andrei Bobrov and Mr Walter Roberson

I have another problem since some input values are vectors not scalars as you can see bellow

A{2:10,2} = 1:1:9;

its working for

A = zeros(10,10)

A(2:10,2) = 1:1:9;

but now i got error

??? The right hand side of this assignment has too few values to satisfy the left hand side.

Error in ==> Program at 24 A(2:10,2) = 1:1:9;

Thanks

[Walter Roberson]

A(2:10,2) = num2cell(1:1:9);

Notice this goes back to () not {}
