In the place of sheet, you specify the sheet number.

Mehdi, if you mean that you want to make variables Matrix1, Matrix2 etc. inside a loop, then I agree completely with Walter and Jan - it's just a bad idea.

However, if you mean that you want to print "Matrix 1", "Matrix 2" etc. then that's OK, and you could do something like this:

for k = 1:4
    fprintf('Matrix %d = \n', k);
    disp(rand(2));   % the matrix you want to print
end
