Hi,
I did it like this:
1. Write data into the excel file (OutputTest) with xlswrite (it starts in cell F1 in Excel):
xlswrite('OutputTest',data,'Output','F1');
2. Edit the data. Therefore open the excel application (I think you can also use this technique to write your data if you do not want to use xlswrite):
e=actxserver('excel.application');
eW=e.Workbooks;
filename=[pwd '\OutputTest.xls'];
eF=eW.Open(filename); % open OutputTest.xls
eS=eF.ActiveSheet;
% edit sheet
eS.Range('A1:Q1').EntireColumn.AutoFit;
eS.Range('A1').EntireRow.Font.Bold=1;
eF.Save;
eF.Close; % close the file
e.Quit; % close Excel entirely
