Thread Subject: excel COM server

Hello there

The xlswrite function works fine when I run on a PC, but when I use the same function in Mac, I had this error- "Could not start Excel server for export"

Could anyone tell me how should I solve this problem?

Thanks.

xlswrite requires COM to work, and this only works on windows. Instead, use dlmwrite or csvwrite.

Or, if you have some spare time, you can decipher the proprietary Excel binary format and create a function that writes the appropriate binary data...
