What's happening when you pass "0001" into a spreadsheet is the same thing that would happen if you typed that number into the spreadsheet from the Excel application. It converts the internal storage to "number". If you want to preserve exact text, add a single quote mark before the text, e.g. "'0001". (or {'''0001'} for cells.) This is the same thing you'd need to do if you tried tying the number into the Excel application to preserve the leading zeros.
This only happens on Windows when communicating with an active Excel process. If you're in the most recent release, you can also use the "UseExcel",false parameter, which won't do any post processing to the text; it is stored as-is. If you do, however, opening the file in Excel and re-saving might modify the contents.

Use xlswrite() or writetable().

Hi Madhan
I do use xlswrite. The goal here is to add subject's id number (eg. 0001) in the fisrt collumn of each tab.
the code that i am using is
subjectid = cellfun(@num2str,{'0001'},'un',0)
xlswrite('temp.xlsx',subjectid)
But as you can see in the attached file, the exported value is '1'.
It would be great if i am able to export this value as '0001' from matlab to excel.
Any help would be very appreciated.

Hi,
Thank you for the code; however, stil the same issue. It seems that excel does accept 0s before a number. Is this true?

i am using pc. I tried Jeremy's suggestion (i.e., {'''0001'} ) and works fine!!!!
You have saved me from a lengthy manual work. now it is automated.
Thank you both.
