How do you create a filename and path in MATLAB for the xlswrite function?

In Windows 7, I would like have the user create a filename for writing an Excel file. Is there a MATLAB file-gui function for creating a file path?

You can use inputdlg() to ask for a string, then append '.xlsx' to the end. If you want to have the user be able to save the file to a different directory, use uiputfile(). There's a good post here which details how to use uiputfile() and xlswrite() to save to a specific directory.
