MATLAB: Will it be possible to use XLSWRITE to write formulas to the excel sheet which would be calculated altomatically when they are written

excelformulasMATLABxlswrite

I need to create an XLS sheet from MATLAB using the XLSWRITE command. However, I want to export data and the cell formulas to the xls sheet

For example, I might want to write to a cell:

 cell F5: =sum(F1:F4)

Would this be possible when I use the XLSWRITE Command?

You can write formulas to cells as regular strings. Below are some commands that can be used for declaring a cell array and then writing it to Excel.

a={'1','2','=sum(a1,b1)'}
a(2,:)={'4' '5' '=sum(a2,b2)'}
a(3,:)={4, 5 ,'=sum(a3,b3)'}
xlswrite('Book2.xls',a)

MATLAB: How to add a Header or a Footer to an EXCEL worksheet using MATLAB 7.7 (R2008b)

The ability to programmatically add the Header and Footer to an Excel worksheet can be implemented in MATLAB using the COM interface.

The ACTXSERVER command can be used to create a COM server running Microsoft Excel. You can then add the Header and Footer using the different methods for the workbook and then call XLSWRITE to write the data to the Excel worksheet as follows:

a = actxserver('Excel.Application');
a.Visible =1;
a.Workbooks.Add;
a.activeWorkbook.activesheet.PageSetup.LeftFooter = 'MyFooter';
a.activeWorkbook.activesheet.PageSetup.LeftHeader = 'MyHeader';
a.activeWorkbook.SaveAs('test.xlsx');
a.activeWorkbook.Close;
xlswrite('test.xlsx',[1 2 3]);

The following options can also be modified in a similar way:

a.activeWorkbook.activeWorksheet.PageSetup.CenterHeader 
a.activeWorkbook.activeWorksheet.PageSetup.RightHeader 
a.activeWorkbook.activeWorksheet.PageSetup.CenterFooter 
a.activeWorkbook.activeWorksheet.PageSetup.RightFooter

MATLAB: How is this written

x=2;
y= sin(2*x)/5 + sin(x).^2 - 2*sin(x).*cos(x);
