Convert a cell of 'yes' and 'no' into array of 1 and 0

Hi guys,
I have a problem converting a cell of 'yes' and 'no' (string) into array of 1 and 0 (double).
Lets say I have the following cell:
Data = 4×1 cell array
{'no' }
{'yes'}
{'no' }
{'yes'}
The output should be:
Data = [0;1;0;1]
I have the following code that works when the cell only contains 'yes' but does not when it contains a 'no'.
for i=1:length(Data)
if Data{i}=='yes'
Data{i}=1;
else
Data{i}=0;
end
end
Data=cell2mat(Data);

out = strcmpi(Data,'yes')

ismember(Data, 'yes')
no need to test for 'no' if you know it will always be one or the other.
