I have a xls file with 3 columns and 212 rows of data. Is there any way to insert 3 columns of zeroes with x number of rows in the middle, so there is a total of 365 rows?

Read it in with xlsread(). Insert the columns and rows. Then write back out with xlswrite().

like this?
filename = 'testdata.xls';
A = zeros(153,3);
sheet = 1;
x1Range = 'A122';
xlswrite(filename,A,sheet,x1Range);
snodybde = xlsread('testdata.xls');

No. All you attempted was writing the stuff back out. Where is your call to xlsread, and your insertion code??????
[numbers txt raw] = xlsread('testdata.xls');
insertionRow = 10;
output = [numbers(1:insertionRow, :); newXRows; numbers((insertionRow+1):end,:)];
xlswrite(output, 'testdata.xls', 'D1'); % Write into columns 4-6.
or something like that.
