Working with MATLAB® Builder™ EX

Together, MATLAB®, MATLAB® Compiler™, and MATLAB Builder EX enable you to develop applications using MATLAB and then deploy them as components within Excel workbooks. You can use the high-level, matrix-optimized MATLAB language and built-in math, graphics, and data analysis functions to rapidly prototype, develop, and test your applications. Once the applications are complete, you can use the builder to automatically package them as Excel add-ins and integrate them into Excel workbooks.

The builder encrypts MATLAB code and wraps it as a COM object, with a VBA interface, that can be referenced as a standard Excel macro or add-in. This COM object can be accessed only from Excel, as a macro or add-in. By changing the application in MATLAB and then rebuilding the component, you can modify the MATLAB based component at any time.

To deploy your Excel add-in, you first install the MCR (provided with MATLAB Compiler) on target machines. The MCR is the full set of shared libraries required for executing MATLAB based components. It provides complete support for all features of the MATLAB language and most related toolboxes.
