MATLAB: Writing data to excel files

xlswrite

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here? In the first part of the code, what I want to do is perfectly working. But in the scond part, excel keeps giving me 'soleus' for all the 6 columns instead of the six different muscles.
 names2 = {'soleus' 'tibant' 'gaslat' 'vaslat' 'rectfem' 'hamlat'};
 xlswrite('gait',names2,'B1:G1');
 xlswrite('gait',MeanGait,'B2:G101');
 xlswrite('gait',StdGait,'Feuil2','B2:G101');
 xlswrite('gait',names2,'Feuil2','B1:G1');
 motion = { 'Gait', 'StairUp', 'StairDown' };
 names2 = {'soleus' 'tibant' 'gaslat' 'vaslat' 'rectfem' 'hamlat'};
 xlswrite('Muscle Duration',names2,'AdDB','A2:A7');
 xlswrite('Muscle Duration',motion,'AdDB','B1:D1');
 xlswrite('Muscle Duration',MuscleActivity.AdDB,'AdDB','B2:D7')
Thank you!

Best Answer

When writing to a row, specify your data as a row vector. When writing to a column, specify your data as a column vector.
In your code:
xlswrite('Muscle Duration',names2,'AdDB','A2:A7');
Column A from 2 to 7 is the output range (a column vector) but names2 is a row vector. Just apply the transpose operator (apostrophe) to names 2 to make it a column vector.
xlswrite('Muscle Duration', names2','AdDB','A2:A7');
