Hi,

I am reading in an excel file using the command:
[A, headertext] = xlsread('File.xls')
My numeric values are in A and column names saved in 
headertext. Now I make my changes and I am trying to use 
xlswrite to write out the file.
My question is, how to incorporate the same column names 
in headertext while writing out a new excel file?

Thanks
Suman

You'll need to make a cell array containing the 
string/headers and the numeric data, similar to Example 2 
in the doc for xlswrite.
So something like,

[A, headertext] = xlsread('File.xls');
newA = .....
outputMatrix = cell(1+size(newA,1),size(newA,2));
outputMatrix(1,:) = headertext;
outputMatrix(2:end,:) = num2cell(newA);
xlswrite('newfilename.xls',outputMatrix);

I'm assuming here that newA and headertext have the same 
number of columns.

Phil.

Thanks for the tip Phil. It sure works.
