How to use xlswrite in an Excel add-in?

1 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hello,
I am using EX Builder to make an Excel add-in. The add-in should read an m x n matrix from the sheet and write down an m x 3 matrix of outputs. Now, I am OK with the first part which consists of using the xlsread function. However, I am having an issue using the xlswrite function which cannot write into an opened workbook. Is there a way to work around this problem?
Many thanks!
P.S. I did try to include a piece of code which closes the workbook before applying xlswrite. This works when I run my m file in Matlab, however it still does not work when I build an Excel add-in.

Hello Nebitno,
To write data into an excel sheet, you can use writematrix for R2019a and later versions:
  • If you are using a MATLAB version that supports writematrix, it provides a more robust way to write data to Excel files. However, it still requires the workbook to be closed.
writematrix(outputData, 'yourfile.xlsx', 'Sheet', 1, 'Range', 'A1');
For more information on the writematrix function, please go through the following documentation link: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/writematrix.html#mw_bf4dd90e-62a2-42b7-8c53-3ac04cea640a
  • If you must use xlswrite, ensure that the workbook is closed programmatically before writing. However, this approach might not be ideal in an add-in environment where the workbook is typically open.
I hope this helps!
