writing 1*5 char in one cell in excel

i have a problem- i have parameter in matlab called patients = 82x5 type char when each row is like 234t1(has both numbers and a letter)

i want to import it to excel so that each patient name will be in one cell and not 5..( a1 = 234t1, a2 = 234t2,...)

Great help! Thank you!

I was sending a date to Excel and, instead of writing the full date in a single Excel cell, it wrote each character in a separate cell. After using cellstr() the problem was solved!

Perhaps the following would work:

xlswrite('test.xls', cellstr(x))

Where "x" is a character array
