Version 1.1 (R13) MATLAB® Builder™ EX Software

This table summarizes what's new in Version 1.1 (R13):

Note   MATLAB Builder for Excel 1.0 was initially released in Web-downloadable form after Release 12.1 was released, but before Release 13.

MATLAB Builder for Excel provides the capability to incorporate seamlessly and quickly MATLAB models and functions into Excel worksheets. A graphical user interface enables you to build and deploy Excel Add-Ins containing functionality designed in MATLAB but accessed from the Excel environment.

Using MATLAB Builder for Excel to create a deployable application is a simple process requiring a sequence of six steps:

1. Creating a project

2. Managing M- and MEX-files

3. Building a project

4. Testing the model

5. Creating an Excel Add-In

6. Packaging and distributing the component

The new feature introduced in Version 1.1 is the Function Wizard.

Function Wizard

The Function Wizard lets you pass Microsoft Excel worksheet values to a compiled MATLAB model and to return model output to a cell or range of cells in the worksheet. The Function Wizard provides an intuitive interface to Excel worksheets. Knowledge of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming is not required.

The Function Wizard reflects any changes that you make in the worksheets, such as range selections. Going in the opposite direction, you can use the Function Wizard to control the placement and output of data from MATLAB functions to the worksheets. For complete documentation of this new feature, see the User's Guide.

Note   At this release the Function Wizard is not able to process the sparse, struct, or complex data types.
