MATLAB: MATLAB xlswrite function

excelxlsxlswrite

Hello all MATLAB users:

This came to my attention,

>> x = [inf 3 4 inf];
>> xlswrite('test',x,'test');

if you open the .xls file you will notice that the inf value in xls is the "magic" number 65535.

Does anyone know the reason?

Best Answer

Because 2^16-1 is the largest number Excel can represent since it's 16 bit unsigned.

MATLAB: How to rename a sheet in Excel using the COM interface in MATLAB

You can rename an Excel sheet using the "Name" property of a sheet object. For example the following renames the first sheet of an Excel file:

filename = 'C:\SomeExcelFile.xls';
% Open Excel Automation server
Excel = actxserver('Excel.Application');
% Make Excel visible
Excel.Visible=1;
% Open Excel file
Workbook = Excel.Workbooks.Open(filename);
% Get the list of sheets in the workbook
Sheets = Excel.ActiveWorkbook.Sheets;
% Rename the first sheet
Sheets.Item(1).Name = 'This is sheet 1';

The following code then saves the Workbook, quits Excel and removes the COM server:

% Save the file
Workbook.Save();
% Quit Excel, remove the COM server and delete the related objects
Excel.Quit();
Excel.delete();
clear Excel;
clear Workbook;
clear Sheets;
