AA(1,ii)=A(ii)

xlswrite('fileB.xls', BB)
% for BB because of the equal and parenthesis it outputs an error
Error using xlswrite (line 219)

Try
writetable(cell2table(BB),'fileB.xls', 'WriteVariableNames', false)
Note that this would be for the case where you want the cells to contain those literal strings, not for the case where you are trying to write macros at those locations. For that task of writing macros, what I find is https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48190180/can-matlab-write-a-macro-in-an-excel-file-via-activex
