is there a way how to make Matlab open excel files directly in MS

  • 0

is there a way how to make Matlab open excel files directly in MS Excel? I do not mean just read data, but physically open MS Excel.
I have a script that processes some data and saves it into .xlsm. This .xlsm contains auto_open macro which generates a report and saves it into another .xls.
I want the process to be as automatic as possible. So far, when the matlab script ends, .xlsm file needs to be open manually. Is it possible to do it via Matlab? (The .m file and .xlsm are in the same folder.)

    The simplest way to open (but not close) an Excel file is to use WINOPEN:

    winopen('myFile.xlsx')
