Extract numbers from cell array

Hi,

I have a cell array with both numbers and 'NA' strings for missing values.

Now I want to convert the cell array to a pure number array to use it for calculations, keeping all numbers and setting the 'NA' to NaN.

What would be the easiest way to achieve that?

Best regards,

Chris

A(cellfun(@ischar,A)) = {NaN};
Amat = cell2mat(A);
