I use cell array of strings to populate popup menu but strings in the popup menu are returned as scientific notation!

Dear matlab users

I have 10x1 cell array of strings: 1001001 1001002 1001003 1001004 . . . 1001010

I use this code to set the strings in the popupmenu Matlab GUI:

set(handles.popupmenu14,'String',ListNoSG);

But in the popup menu the strings are shown as scientific notations: 1.001e+06, 1.001e+06, 1.001e+06, 1.001e+06, 1.00101e+06, 1.00101e+06, 1.00101e+06, 1.00101e+06, 1.00101e+06, 1.00101e+06.

Please note that the scientific notation 1.001e+06 is repeated 4 times while 1.00101e+06 is repeated 6 times.

I want in the popupmenu to be shown strings from the cell array: 1001001 1001002 1001003 1001004 . . . 1001010

Please tell me how to do it. I tried several workarounds found on internet but without success.

Thank you in advance.

It seems that ListNoSG contains numeric scalars. Convert them to character:

tmp = cellfun(@int2str,ListNoSG,'uni',0);
set(handles.popupmenu14,'String',tmp);

Thank you so much Stephen. It works perfectly.
