Manipulating data and exporting to Excel (then automating the whole process)

Hi, I am a very new user of MatLab and I think am faced with a relatively complex task. Basically, I am currently importing .DAT files into MatLab and processing them using a couple of programs. Once one file is processed, I end up with an array (about 180 rows by 9 columns). What I am looking to do from that point on(and I've been quite unsuccessful at it thus far) is the following:

• Label each column with its designated unit
• Export each array I produce with each .dat file to .xls format
• Automate the programming since I need to process over 1000 .DAT files

I've tried using the dataset array function, however when I try to export it or write it to .xls, errors pop up.

Any help is appreciated and if you need to know more information about the programming feel free to ask

Thanks in advance!
