You can use writematrix or xlswrite.
Please see following URL.
R2019a or later : writematrix
example code
M = magic(5)
writematrix(M,'M.xlsx','Sheet',2,'Range','A3:E8')
R2018b or earlier : xlswrite
exanple code
filename = 'testdata.xlsx';
A = [12.7 5.02 -98 63.9 0 -.2 56];
xlswrite(filename,A)

What OS platform do you use? Win10, Mac OS or Linux?
sir, resolve the problem. please
I tested following script in the R2018a.
I was able to write the data to the excel file without any problems.
filename = 'testdata.xlsx';
A = [12.7 5.02 -98 63.9 0 -.2 56];
xlswrite(filename,A)
I attach it as a .gif.

I ran the same script on the following versions, but no problem occurred. And I can't reproduce the warninig.
  • R2015a
  • R2018a
  • R2019b
Workaround: Open the .csv in Microsoft Excel. And SaveAs .xlsx.
If possible, can you reinstall R2018a and try it out?
Are you 100% sure you have Excel installed? Perhaps that might cause a problem.
If you don't have Excel on that computer, use csvwrite() to write a CSV file, which can be opened by WordPad.
Why are you not upgrading to R2019b, where you can get writecell()? It's much, much faster in my experience than xlswrite().

Do you run the following test script and open actxserver?
If you get error message, please tell me the error message.
try
Excel = actxserver('excel.application');
fprintf('>> excel server open. \n');
catch ME
fprintf('>> %s. \n',ME.message);
end
Excel.Quit;
Excel.delete;
fprintf('>> excel server close. \n');
can i use it alongwith previous command.
Pleae run this command independently. Just the script to test your environment.

sir, it is showing like that.
file and the result what am i trying to print in excel is not memtioned!
Undefined function 'actxserer' for input arguments of type 'char'..
Undefined variable "Excel" or class "Excel.Quit".
Error in Untitled2 (line 149)
Excel.Quit;
I am very sorry. My script had a miss spelling. I have modified it. Please re-try it. If you have caught an error, matlab didn’t have connect excel. Could you login your PC as administrator and try it?
sir, it is showing like that,
Server creation failed. Invalid ProgID 'excel.application'..
Undefined variable "Excel" or class "Excel.Quit".
Error in Untitled2 (line 149)
Excel.Quit;
Could you login your PC as administrator and try it? I have experienced the problem of access when Excel is installed but not registered.
Excel is not installed on your system, or is not properly installed, or else you have a quite old version of Excel that is 32 bit only but you are using a 64 bit MATLAB
sir every thing is ok related to excel.
If everything was okay related to excel then the activex test would have succeeded.
sir tell me other way to perform it.
filename = 'testdata.xlsx';
A = [12.7 5.02 -98 63.9 0 -.2 56];
T = array2table(A);
writetable(T, filename, 'WriteVariableNames', false);
You might possibly get a warning message about having trouble connecting to Excel, but it should then use the built-in routines that do not use Excel .
Starting in the release after yours, R2018b, it is possible to add an option 'UseExcel', false to cause it to deliberately skip even attempting to use Excel.
thanku so much sir,
finally we are able to export the data but one error is there it is not opening in matlb but outside matlab it is opening and file name also soming .xlsx.
To open it in MATLAB use readtable() not xlsread()

Do you solve this problem? I got a similar warning on Linux without Excel installed. You may not have installed Excel correctly. (I know you are using windows10.)
