Hi Arif

I understand that you would like to convert cell aray which contains numeric to double. You can consider following the below steps:

1. Extract the string from the cell.
2. Replace the comma with a period.
3. Convert the string to a double.

Here's an example code:

% Cell array with a string containing a comma as decimal separator
cellArray = {'0,037796'}

cellArray = 1×1 cell array
    {'0,037796'}

% Extract the string from the cell
stringValue = cellArray{1};

% Replace the comma with a period
stringValue = strrep(stringValue, ',', '.');

% Convert the string to a double
doubleValue = str2double(stringValue)

doubleValue = 0.0378

% If you want to convert to a number without decimals (as your example suggests)
% you would remove the decimal point before converting
stringValueNoDecimal = strrep(stringValue, '.', '')

stringValueNoDecimal = '0037796'

% Now convert the modified string to a double
doubleValueNoDecimal = str2double(stringValueNoDecimal)

doubleValueNoDecimal = 37796

% Display the result
disp(doubleValue);

    0.0378

Hope this helps!
