Store cell arrays composed of datetimes and numbers

Description & Goal. I have several cell arrays composed of datetimes "dt" and numbers/values "n", similar to this one:
[cellstr(dt) num2cell(n)]
ans =
1×2 cell array
{'19-Jun-2021 11:00:00'} {[20]}
where
>> dt
dt =
datetime
19-Jun-2021 11:00:00
>> n
ans =
20
Both datetimes and numbers contained in those cell arrays change everytime, and are "generated" inside a loop for.
My goal is to store all the different cell arrays, obtained inside the loop for, as matrix rows.
My Attempt. I tried to store those cell arrays by indexing with round brackets (if possible I would like to avoid curly brackets), but it does not work:
for i = 1 : 5
% different "datetime" and "numbers" are generated at the beginning of the loop
store(i,:) = [cellstr(dt) num2cell(n)]
end
Question & Desired Output. How can I get an output like this one ?
>> store
store =
19-Jun-2021 11:00:00 20
20-Jun-2021 19:00:00 44
21-Jun-2021 17:00:00 13

"I have a cell array composed of datetimes and numbers/values"
Your example show a cell array containing a character vector, not a datetime object. It is unclear why you convert a perfectly good datetime object to a less versatile character vector.
Your loop works for me (with suitable preallocation):
store = cell(5,2); % preallocate!
for i = 1:5
dt = datetime(2022,randi([1,12]),1);
n = randi([0,99]);
store(i,:) = [cellstr(dt),num2cell(n)];
end
display(store)

If you only have a handful of columns, I would probably just allocate using curly-brace indexing:
store = cell(5,2); % preallocate!
for i = 1:5
store{i,1} = datetime(2022,randi([1,12]),1);
store{i,2} = randi([0,99]);
end
display(store)
Have you considered using a table to store your data? That would mean that you get the benefits of keeing data in arrays of its native class, rather than splitting your data into lots of scalar arrays in a cell array:
tbl = table('Size', [5,2], 'VariableTypes', {'datetime', 'double'},'VariableNames',{'d','n'});
for i = 1:5
tbl.d(i) = datetime(2022,randi([1,12]),1);
tbl.n(i) = randi([0,99]);
end
display(tbl)
