write data from a cellarray into an excelfile with actxserver in matlab

Here is a code snippet that shows how to write data from a MATLAB cell array into an Excel file using the actxserver function:

main.m
% Create an instance of Excel and make it visible
Excel = actxserver('Excel.Application');
Excel.Visible = true;

% Create a new workbook
Workbooks = Excel.Workbooks;
Workbook = Workbooks.Add;
Sheets = Workbook.Sheets;
Sheet = Sheets.Item(1);

% Define the cell array to write to Excel
data = {'Name', 'Age', 'Gender'; 'John', 25, 'Male'; 'Mary', 30, 'Female'};

% Get the size of the data to write
[rows, cols] = size(data);

% Create Excel Range object and write the data to it
Range = Sheet.Range(sprintf('A1:%s%d', char('A' + cols - 1), rows));
Range.Value = data;

% Save and close Excel workbook
Workbook.SaveAs(fullfile(pwd, 'data.xlsx'));
Workbook.Close;
Excel.Quit;
675 chars
25 lines

In this example, we first create an instance of Excel using the actxserver function. Then, we create a new workbook and a new worksheet. After that, we define the cell array 'data' which will contain the data we want to write to Excel. We get the size of the data and create an Excel Range object based on the size. Finally, we write the data to the Range object and save the workbook, close it, and quit the Excel application.

Note that you may need to modify this code according to your specific needs, such as changing the filename of the output Excel file.
