This are 2 cell-array:
a={'Hi';'Hi'}; b={'Fred';'Alex'};
I would like to combine each row and write it in a cell in Excel like this:
Hi Fred (Column A, Row 1)
Hi Alex (Column A, Row 2)
Actually I do:
xlswrite('name.xls', [a,b]);
but the result is this:
Hi (Column A, Row 1) Fred (Column B, Row 1)
Hi (Column A, Row 2) Alex (Column B, Row 2)
Thanks in advance for your help!

[a,b]   creates a  <2x2 cell>. That's why you get 2x2 "cells" in Excel.   Instead try
cac = cellfun( @(s1,s2) sprintf('%s %s',s1,s2), a, b, 'uni', false );
xlswrite('name.xls', cac );
