Converting a structure to a matrix

I'm trying to get some data from a xls spreadsheet to a matrix. At the moment I've gotten thus far:

conLogChans=importdata('Control_Log_Channel_Allocation_Drivven.xls');
conLogChans=struct2cell(conLogChans);
conLogChans=conLogChans{1,1};

But if I now try the cell2mat command I get the error:

Error using cat
Dimensions of matrices being concatenated are not consistent.

Error in cell2mat (line 83)
            m{n} = cat(1,c{:,n});

I thought the error was to do with some of the cells having no data in them, so I put some data in them however the error is still appearing. Any suggestions on how to do this? The data is all strings if it makes a difference.

Thank you.

The error message is clear: The array in the cell need the same number of columns, when you want to concatenate them. So check the sizes of the arrays at first.
