Error when using "xlswrite"

Hello,

I have the following problem:

Every time I try to write some variables into an excel file I get this error:

Error using xlswrite (line 220)
Error: The server threw an exception.

Can anybody help?

Thank you!

Exactly what are you trying to write?

let's say I have a variable a with an array in it. How do I export this array as an excel file?

Thank you!

I think the problem can be within xlswrite function, maybe it is not designed for writing exceptaniol arrays into excel format ( For example maybe it is not suitable for writing Categorical Arrays )

This is the only logical idea which popped into my mind with given information by you.

How large is the data, and which file extension did you use? .xls ? .xlsx ?

I just found out, that this error does not occur if the file already exists ....

Thank you :)

It should not occur if there is no file existing yet. It should work.

Alternatively, have you tried writetable()?

Hi forum,

I've got the same error. How can I print the error message following the doc : [status message] = xlswrite(...);

How can I display 'message' say with fprintf?

Thought of a file path too long but isn't

Thanks Vincent
