Is it possible to convert the vector to matrix .unknown number of columns and the number of row is known. Where is the row filled with zeros? Or with holes?
A=[1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9]
number of row=3
A=[1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 0 0 0]

The task is ambiguous without additional specifications on how the number of columns is to be chosen. For example, with the input,
A=[1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15];
nrows=3;
there are at least three possible 3-row arrangements that would be valid:
B=[1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14 15]
B=[1 2 3 4 5 6
7 8 9 10 11 12
13 14 15 0 0 0]
B=[1 2 3 4 5 6 7
8 9 10 11 12 13 14
15 0 0 0 0 0 0]

A=1:9;
nRow-3;
>> A=reshape(A,3,[])
A =
1 4 7
2 5 8
3 6 9
>>
The posted in the Q? text above forced four columns, not three (3) rows...
That, of course, is also doable with a little more effort...
A=1:9;
nCol=4;
nZ=ceil(numel(A)/4);
>> reshape([A zeros(1,nCol*nZ-numel(A))],nCol,[]).'
ans =
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 0 0 0

@dpb yes, but augment to what? There isn't a unique choice.For the following input, for example,
A=[1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15]
there are at least three possible solutions with 3 rows:
B=[1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14 15]
B=[1 2 3 4 5 6
7 8 9 10 11 12
13 14 15 0 0 0]
B=[1 2 3 4 5 6 7
8 9 10 11 12 13 14
15 0 0 0 0 0 0]

@Matt J, yes there are multiple possible answers. But since he did not actually ask how to construct any of them, and all he asked was "Is it possible to convert the vector to matrix .unknown number of columns and the number of row is known?" the answer is simply "Yes".

No, the solution is ill-defined. Another result with the same number of rows is:
A=[1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9]
