uitable callback: replace cell in a cell array with 'char' string value gives NAN not 'text'

I have a mat file with a cell array with various numbers and text. I load this into a uitable and give the user the opportunity to change the values of certain cells then it auto saves to csv (cell2csv). This works fine for pop-up and numeric columnn formats, but if the column format is set at 'char' 'ABC' it appears as NaN in the table/cell array.
My callback is basically: datacellarray(event.Indices) = {event.NewData}
I've tried [] {} () in various positions and tried inputting different things in the uitable cell and setting the uitable column format to no avail. I am sure it is something completely obvious but I can only bang my head against the wall for so long. Any help/insight is greatly appreciated.

Ok, I may be doing something differently.
I have a uitable in a gui.
set(gTable,'ColumnFormat',guidata.gTableColFormat)
guidata.gTableColFormat = {'numeric',guidata.popup,'char'};

Thanks for you help so far.
I can't use (event.Indices(1),event.Indices(2)) because the uitable and the datacellarray are not equal. I need to re-position a bit.
guidata.datacellarray(event.Indices(1)+1,n) = {event.NewData};

In earlier release, if you type help uitabel, you will see
This function is undocumented and will change in a future release

Thanks so much for your patience. I found the error buried in table construction. The text column was off by one. It was my indexing.
Cheers.

Thanks for the reply.
I just tried this with 'char' as the uitable ColumnFormat and got:
"??? Conversion to cell from double is not possible."

Put a break point at that line and debug it. What is the value of event.NewData?

See my updated answer. I tried. If the column format is 'Numeric' and you enter a string like 'abc', it will give NaN. But if the column format is 'Text', it shouldn't have problem. Please double check.

I should provide more information as maybe it is my indexing?
My data is in a structure and the indexing gets moved a bit to accommodate the differences between what in in the datacellarray and what is actually shown in the uitable. shifted right one column and n being the proper column based on a strncmp in the first header row.
guidata.datacellarray(event.Indices(1)+1,n) = event.NewData;

What version of MATLAB are you using? I tried on R2010b. The choices for column format are: 'Let MATLAB Choose','Numeric','Text','Logical','Choice List...','Custom...'. I don't see 'char'.

Your indexing seems fine. You need to have the {} at the right hand side. I think it's probably due to column format. Double check the column format for that column.

It appears I can only use 'char' as a ColumnFormat.
"ColumnFormat definitions must be either 'numeric', 'logical', 'char', or be a popupmenu definition"
I am getting the feeling it is something deeper.

Run the two lines below and then try to change the value. In column 1, if you try to type in 'abc', it will become NaN. In column 2, you can type in anything.
a={1 'a' true};
h=uitable('data',a,'columnformat',{'numeric','char','logical'},'columneditable',true)
