Copy data from cell array to table

I am having a 1x12 cell array, that contains different data:

  1×12 cell array
  Columns 1 through 7
    {18977×1 string}    {18977×1 string}    {18977×1 string}    {18977×1 double}    {18977×1 double}    {18977×1 double}    {18977×1 double}
  Columns 8 through 12
    {18977×1 double}    {18977×1 double}    {18977×1 double}    {18977×1 double}    {18977×1 string}

I want to convert it into a table so that I can select complete rows or plot a column. But the command

t = array2table(dataArray);
t2 = cell2table(dataArray);

still leave me with a 1x12 table instead ot the wanted 18977x12 table. What am I doing wrong ?

Here are some fake data that look similar to yours.

A = {string(rand(18977,1)), rand(18977,1), rand(18977,1), rand(18977,1)}; 

And here's how to put those data into a table (assuming all elements of the cell array have the same number of rows).

table(A{:}) %use the 'VariableNames' option to add headers

If vectors are not of equal length, use padarray().
