I have a cell matrix with size 1165x1 cell. In each cell there is one value i.e. number 31 that needs to be found and made NaN.
For example:
A = {[1,2],[3,4],[5 31], [31,6]};
I would like to make 31 = NaN where ever it is seen. Just like matrix B:
B = {[1,2],[3,4],[5 NaN], [NaN,6]};
Any help is greatly appriciated.

Ran in:
Start with a simple loop:
A = {[1,2], [3,4], [5 31], [31,6]};
B = A;
for k = 1:numel(B)
b = B{k};
m = (b == 31);
if any(m)
b(m) = NaN;
B{k} = b;
end
end
This can be condensed into a cellfun method:
p = [1, NaN];
B = cellfun(@(a) a .* p((a == 31) + 1), A, 'UniformOutput', 0)
B = 1×4 cell array
{[1 2]} {[3 4]} {[5 NaN]} {[NaN 6]}

There are several ways to do this.
1) convert to matrix, replace and convert back to cell array:
tmp = cell2mat(A);
tmp(tmp == 31) == Nan;
A = num2cell(tmp)
2) use cellfun:
A(cellfun(@(elem) elem == 31, A)) = {Nan}

Correct Nan to Nan or nan. But still not right. Just to illustrate:
% Method 1
A = {[1,2],[3,4],[5 31], [31,6]}
A = 1×4 cell array
{[1 2]} {[3 4]} {[5 31]} {[31 6]}
tmp = cell2mat(A);
tmp(tmp == 31) == NaN;
A = num2cell(tmp)
A = 1×8 cell array
{[1]} {[2]} {[3]} {[4]} {[5]} {[31]} {[31]} {[6]}
% Method 2:
A = {[1,2],[3,4],[5 31], [31,6]};
A(cellfun(@(elem) elem == 31, A)) = {NaN}
Error using cellfun
Non-scalar in Uniform output, at index 1, output 1.
Set 'UniformOutput' to false.
@Manas Shivakumar Can you try again?

The num2cell conversion also destroys the original cell sizes by placing every element into its own cell. One would have to write something like
mat2cell(cell2mat(A),[1],[2 2 2 2])
ans =
1×4 cell array
{1×2 double} {1×2 double} {1×2 double} {1×2 double}
>>
to get the original back.
