I have a number 7.511502463068333e-04. I want to put it in a cell. I used :
    B=[7.511502463068333e-04];
    A=num2cell(B);
however i want the number to be in parentheses as a 4 decimal point number. i.e. i want it to appear as:
    A='(0.0008)';
How can i do that?

				A = sprintf('(%.4f)', B);
Or
A = num2str(B, '(%.4f)');
Note: num2cell() is for converting arrays into cell arrays, not for changing them into character format.
