I have an output matrix of (5*5*44040) dimension. I would like to convert it into 1 dimension so basically all the (5*5) are stacked up and the final matrix is 220200 row. Any ideas? Thank you guys.

I guess, that you either want a simple:
out = in(:);
Or:
out = reshape(permute(in, [2,1,3]), [], 1);
It depends on what "all the (5*5) are stacked up" exactly means.

Good morning Jan, Thank you for the reply. The matrix that I currently have is ( 5x5x44040), so I basically have 44040 matrices of five by five dimensions. I want them imported to excel as they are, so that's why I thought of stacking all these matrices in order to fit an excel sheet format (220200 rows total).

@Amine Ben Ayara: So please give a meaningful example. You can "stack" the 5x5 blocks row-wise or columns-wise. I've posted code for both versions. Does one of them work as you want? If not, please post an example with a shortwer 2x2x3 matrix.

You can use permute and reshape:
>> inp(:,:,3) = [0,1;2,3]; % page 3
>> inp(:,:,2) = [4,5;6,7]; % page 2
>> inp(:,:,1) = [8,9;Inf,NaN] % page 1
inp(:,:,1) =
8 9
Inf NaN
inp(:,:,2) =
4 5
6 7
inp(:,:,3) =
0 1
2 3
>> out = reshape(permute(inp,[1,3,2]),[],2)
out =
8 9 % page 1
Inf NaN % page 1
4 5 % page 2
6 7 % page 2
0 1 % page 3
2 3 % page 3

Stephen, in the example you used, the 3 matrices are (2*2), and I see that you have the final ouptut (out) in the order you wanted[1,3,2]; in my case I have 14680 of (5*5) matrices. They are stored in a 3D matrix output, how do I have to modify what you wrote to get one matrix of stacked up row? Thanks

@Amine Ben Ayara: note that the output order is actually 1,2,3,4,..., because I presumed that you wanted your matrices arranged sequentially like this. The values [1,3,2] are just used to rearrange the array dimensions, not the output order. (notice that your array has three dimensions, and my array has three dimensions, and these are what are rearranged). In any case, you would only need to change the final reshape size, like this:
reshape(permute(inp,[1,3,2]),[],5)
^ to match the matrix size
