I have a GUI which displays the data in uitable. When I save the file using pushbutton, by command uiputfile ... It saves the file, when I try to open file, it shows file locked for editing ... and at command prompt the status shows busy ... for long time... and MATLAB crashes ... by displaying the "An operation is in progress ..." message, sometimes this error does not appear... my code in pushbutton is below
data = [{get(handles.edit2,'String')} get(handles.uitable1,'ColumnName')';get(handles.uitable1,'RowName') num2cell(get(handles.uitable1,'Data'))]
[file,path] = uiputfile('*.xlsx','*.txt')
xlswrite(file,data);
disp('Save successful!!');

What does "a long time" means exactly? Seconds, minutes, hours? What happens if the message does not appear?
Maybe your disk is full or damaged. Have you installed Excel on your machine? If so, which version? Does any detail about the problem in the system's logfiles?

You can use 'writevariablename', false to avoid writing the column names. You can use 'writerowname', false to avoid writing the row names.
