Converting Dataset Simulation results to Excel Spreadsheet

Two simple functions that convert a Dataset parameter, containing Simulink Simulation data, to excel

You are now following this Submission

Many times when running simulations, you want to take the results, and use them in an excel spreadsheet, or convert them to a text format.
The supplied functions enable you to save the simulation results to excel, or import other scenarios into MATLAB, in a Dataset format valid for running simulations with Simulink.
Including sample excel spreadsheet, a Simulink model to create a Dataset, and a Simulink model to run the imported scenario. The functions are documented and pretty much self-explanatory.

Option 1 - Simulink to Excel:
Open and run the model 'example_Simulink'. This will create a parameter named 'logsout' in the workspace.
Run the following command - Dataset2XLS(logsout, 'example_data.xlsx') , and an excel spreadsheet named 'example_data' will be created in the current directory.

Option 2 - Excel to Simulink:
Run the function new = XLS2Dataset('example_Dataset.xlsx')
Open the model example_ReadDS. View the Data Import/Export pane in the Configuration parameters,
and see how the data is used.

*** Notes:
Tested on Microsoft Excel Version 2010.
