Exporting from matlab to excel with macro?

2 views (last 30 days)
Hi, I have matrix(200x3) I want to export in excel spreadsheet in which I already have 5 lines of text.
---
StartLoft
StartCurve
EndLoft
EndCurve
End
-----
I would like to export my matrix between StartCurve and EndLoft (that is A3 in spreadsheet), but I want for EndLoft, EndCurve, End to move down.
When I try to place matrix in A3 it just delete's EndLoft, EndCurve, End, and I want them moved down to be after Matrix. Is that possible?

To achieve exactly what you want, you'd have to automate excel from matlab through actxserver. If you're familiar with excel VBA, it's fairly easy to do. If not, you have a steep learning curve ahead of you.
However, I don't see why you can't simply write your matrix, stomping over the EndLoft, EndCurve and End line, then simply write these lines after your matrix:
xlswrite(yourexcelfile, [num2cell(yourmatrix); {'EndLoft', [], []; 'EndCurve', [], []; 'End', [], []}, 'Sheet1', 'A3');
