I am trying to convert this cell array into a matrix of doubles. How do I make matlab display the numbers the way they are without having the 1.0e+06 * on top? I am trying to avoid having to0 many 0.0000 for my table 'to make sense' for the reader. I just want the matrix to be displayed exactly the way it was, except that I don't want the '' around numbers.
Here is cell matrix that I have: N =

When I use the following command:
N_double=str2double(N)
This is what I get:
N_double =
1.0e+06 *
