Many people don't know how to export matlab data into excel. I wrote a simple function as an illustration to help them.

A comma separated simple function, that illustrates how to export data into excel sheet.

Very simple, give the data to the function as a string. This string has to be comma separated. It will write a comman separated file (CSF) that excell can understand.

Please don't send me emails with questions because i don't have time to reply. Try to find the answer online. This function is very simple and don't need questions to be asked.

Note: When you open the csv file with excell, your country setting must not be Germany, due to comma use as a digit separator. Recommended to set to USA-English
