They don't look like cell arrays, just numeric arrays.
Also
1-2018
is not a valid value to have in a numeric array.
You can concatenate two column vectors easily as
[M, Y]
if they are the same length, but you'll still have two columns. You'd have to format them into a string if you literally want '1-2018'

As Adam notes, you have two arrays as shown (I took the liberty to reformat the original Q? to make more legible) and there's a mismatch in lengths so can't directly...that's probably just a typo in the posting one presumes.
Given they're month and year values, I'd suggest to convert to datetime instead; you can get the display format to be whatever you wish and do all kinds of magic with the values once have done...
t=datetime(Y,M,1,'Format','M-yyyy');
Example:
>> datetime(2018,[1;4],1,'Format','M-yyyy')
ans =
2×1 datetime array
1-2018
4-2018
