Try this:

names = {'A' 'B' 'C' 'D' 'E'};
val = [0;1.5;0.5;0.5;1.5];

C = {[names{:}].' val}
C1 = C{:,1}
C2 = C{:,2}

TC = table(C1,C2)

.

@Star Strider I found an a auxiliary problem with your code is that if names is replaced by as follows

names = {'A1' 'B1' 'C1' 'D1' 'E1'}

Then, the code encounters some errors. Please help.

names = {'A1';'B1';'C1';'D1';'E1'}; % note the orientation!
val = [0;1.5;0.5;0.5;1.5];
T = table(names,val)

T = 5×2 table
    names     val
    ______    ___

    {'A1'}      0
    {'B1'}    1.5
    {'C1'}    0.5
    {'D1'}    0.5
    {'E1'}    1.5

Stephen — Thank you!

Another option is to replace them with string variables:

names = {"A1" "B1" "C1" "D1" "E1"};

.

@Stephen Cobeldick Thank you.

for k=1:length(names)
  names{k}=[names{k},' ',num2str(val(k))];
end

@David Hill It is ok but in your code the output becomes again a cell type and both values are merged together as individual enitity of cell.
