cell2mat(struct2cell(YourStructure))

[Walter Roberson]

One of the toolboxes also has a little-documented struct2array() function,but I am not sure which toolbox.

See also https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/54766-struct2mat-s which creates columns from structures, padding if needed.

What if the cells aren't of the same data type? I have some strings and some numbers

[Walter Roberson]

struct and cell are different datatypes; you need to be clear as to which you are working with for this purpose.

If you have a mix of strings and numbers, then what is your hope as to the datatype of the final matrix ? You can only combine strings and numbers in a single object if it is one of the composite datatypes such as struct, cell, or table.
