How do Import a table in a Matlab file to excel with letters?

Question

Hey, I am trying to import a table in a Matlab file to excel. I found out how to by using the function "xlswrite", but when you have letters in the table from Matlab, it wont work in excel. It only works when the table has only numbers. Can someone please help me and tell me how to do this!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks!

Answer 1

1. Save the matlab file as a plain text file.

2. Open it in Excel.

3. Excel will ask you whether you want to open it in a fixed width or tab delmited format. Select fixed width.

4. The wizard will then ask you to place column dividers across the data. Place those in the right locations and boom you have a table in Excel.

The above only applies if you are talking about using a table formatted within a ".m" file. good luck...
