Cell2mat input cell array error

I have this error:
Error using cell2mat (line 46) All contents of the input cell array must be of the same data type.
When I check input cell array, it is all numbers or empty cells. I replaced it for only one column with only numbers and still same problem. Does anyone have any idea of what it could be?
Thanks

Are you saying that the following code yields an error?
X = rand(10,1);
my_cell = mat2cell(X)
If Yes, you have a problem with your machine.
If No, could you paste the code you are using, please?
Code to test ( I forgot last line ):
X = rand(10,1);
my_cell = mat2cell(X)
XX = cell2mat(my_cell);
A={[1 2],uint8([3 4])};
cell2mat(A)
Error using cell2mat (line 46)
All contents of the input cell array must be of the same data type.
thank you! It helped me a lot!

Are you sure that all cells could be extracted to form a solid 2D matrix with no "missing" elements? You can't ask it to have one row with 10 elements and the row below it to have 7 elements. Those empty cells could be causing your problem.

Make [1 2] uint8 also. Or else make [3 4] double. If you're using integers, they must match exactly with other integers of the same class (uint8 or uint16 or int32).
