Exporting multiple iterations of inputdlg user input into excel file

2 次查看(过去 30 天)
I am going to include my whole code because I don't know where I went wrong. You can see on line 63 where I tried to use a for-loop to save multiple rows of user inputs as they are used, however the final exported excel file just has whichever the last input was. I have tried to use counters, but variable UserInput is considered a "double" and not a "cell" so I can't do that either. Let me know if you have any thoughts and thank you so much.
function user_input(hObject,varargin)
%This function runs a program which allows the user to input addresses into
%a spreadsheet which is saved in an excel file.
%The function uses input and question dialogue boxes, allows the user to
%correct mistakes through a GUI, and has a refresh button which allows the
%user to see the corrected information.

You're really close! Try this as an example:
N = 3;
loopData = cell(N,1);
for ii = 1:N
userDlg = inputdlg('Hit any key',sprintf('Dialogue (loop %i/%i)',ii,numel(N)),[1,50]);
loopData{ii,1} = userDlg{:};
end
xlswrite('NewData.xlsx',loopData)
