The following example should illustrate how this can be achieved:

A = rand(1,5)

B = arrayfun(@num2str, A, 'UniformOutput', 0)

The NUM2STR function converts a number to the string representation of that number. This function is applied to each cell in the A array/matrix using ARRAYFUN. The 'UniformOutput' parameter is set to 0 to instruct CELLFUN to encapsulate the outputs into a cell array.
