extracting row and column from a cell which contains numbers and strings

I have a 120x11 cell called "mymatrix" and I am trying to extract the data from the row which has the minimum value in column 11

I can get the minimum value of row 11 by converting the cell to a matrix, but then I can't get the rest of the info for that row (from columns 1-10 because i get an error

errorvals = cell2mat(mymatrix(:,11)) 
minoferrorvals = min(errorvals)
[rowofmin colofmin] = find(mymatrix == minoferrorvals);

The error is this:

Undefined function 'eq' for input arguments of type 'cell'.
Error in work (line 137)
[rowofmin colofmin] = find(mymatrix == minoferrorvals);

You don't need to use find, just get the second output from min:

errorvals = cell2mat(mymatrix(:,11)) 
[minoferrorvals,idx] = min(errorvals)
mymatrix(idx,:)

errorvals     = cell2mat(mymatrix(:, 11)) 
[~, minIndex] = min(errorvals);
result        = mymatrix(minIndex, 1:10);

Do you have a good reason for working with a cell?
