Creating Variables from Excel
显示 更早的评论
Hello all!
I am trying to make my program more user friendly by having the user view all of the variables and define their values in an excel spreadsheet, with variable names in the one column and values in another. My hope was to create global variables using those variable names, in case the row values change or variables are added/removed. While I have found many ways of getting the data into the workspace, I cannot figure out how to create these variables using the names from the spreadsheet. Is there a way to define variables from strings or am I just wasting my time?
Thanks!

You can use the eval command to convert a string into a variable, although I generally recommend against using eval unless absolutely necessary.
For example:
eval( [ aStr ' = ' num2str(aValue) ';' ] );

Richa, you could also consider dynamic structure field names:
aStr = 'myVar';
ssheetData.(aStr) = 1;

Please do not use eval! Dynamic structure names are better. See also http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#How_can_I_create_variables_A1.2C_A2.2C....2CA10_in_a_loop.3F

As an alternative to using Excel, have you considered creating a GUI in MATLAB for the users to enter the values of these variables? How many variables are there? Are all of them scalars, or are any of them arrays?
There are in general two ways to create a GUI in MATLAB. You can either create the GUI programmatically (on-the-fly), or using a tool called GUIDE that is provided with MATLAB. Depending on how many variables and how complex of a GUI you want to create, you may find that one approach is better than the other based on your requirements.
