Is it possible to create a numeric array with a mixture of empty cells and numbers?

Hey. I want to create an array where some cells are empty and some have values.

For example, a 3x3 array :

16 22 NaN

NaN 2 1

9 19 NaN

Is this possible on MATLAB?

Note that "empty" and NaN are two totally different concepts in MATLAB, yet your question seems to confuse them. It is not possible to have empty elements in a numeric array, but it is certainly possible to have NaN values.

Well, you can do it directly pretty much as you typed it:

result = [16 22 NaN
          NaN 2 1
          9 19 NaN];

Note that every "spot" must have a value, even if it is NaN. The dimensions always have to be rectangular.
