Which is the command to move an excel sheet after another from one book to other?. Commented lines failed.
X = actxserver('Excel.Application');
XW0 = X.Workbooks.Open('t0.xlsx');
XW2 = X.Workbooks.Open('t2.xlsx');
XW2.Worksheets.Item(1).Name = 't2';
% XW2.Worksheets.Item(1).Move('after',XW0.Sheets(1));
XW0.Save
XW0.Close(false)
XW2.Save
XW2.Close(false)
X.Quit
I was able to get Sheet t2 to move from t2.xlsx to after Sheet 1 in t0.xlsx by replacing your commented-out line with this:
XW2.Worksheets.Item(1).Move([], XW0.WorkSheets.Item(1));
Note the empty matrix for the first argument, which is where the Before option goes (see here).

I have some data in an excel file.
At first, I read the file and create a list of names stored in a cell through this command:
[status,sheets] = xlsfinfo(filename);
and I get:
sheets = {'A1','A2','B1','B2','C1'};
(these are the names of excelsheets in the excel file)
and through some process I obtain a matrix for each of these names (excelsheets). The final matrix for each is called:
completeData = [x,v,z,y,s];
Now, I want to:
change the name of "completeData" variable to each of its corresponding excelsheet (from the "sheets" cell).
then save this newly renamed variable (the old "completeData") with the name of its corresponding excelsheet (again from the "sheets" cell).
So far, I have only managed to save each completeData matrix resulting for each excel sheet separately with the name of the sheets [which is point number 2] through this command:
save(sprintf('%s',sheets{excelSheet}),'completeData');
(here I have a loop over "excelsheet")
The problem is that when I have mange excel sheets, and save all of them in a folder my hard disk, whenever I run any of these saved variables I get "completeData" in the workspace which is not what I want. I want to get also the name of the excelsheet.
How can I do this?
P.S. through this command:
eval(sprintf([sheets{excelsheet} '=completeData;']));
(again another loop over excelsheet)
I have managed to create several matrices with the names of excel sheets. But I do not know how I can save these very good newly created variables through a loop so that I do not do it one by one.
Following up the comments above, I tried to write you a simplified example:
%% Initialise
names = {'name1', 'name2', 'name3'};
data = randn(10, 3);
%% it create three fields called name1, name2 and name3 from data, in s
for ind=1:size(data, 2)
s.(names{ind}) = data(:, ind);
end
Hope it helps!
So this is how it worked:
First read information:
[status,sheets] = xlsfinfo(filename);
NamesList = sheets(:,1);
Now, apply the primarily collected information to read again with details:
for ind = 1:length(NamesList)
% Only read those particular sheets
[num,txt,raw] = xlsread(filename,NamesList{ind,:});
var.(NamesList{ind})={txt(:,MyColumn),num};
clear num txt raw
end
I have roughly 70,000 sheets that all have to have calculations done, and then all results compiled into a new sheet (which would be 70,000 lines long).
It needs to be sorted by date.
I'm VERY very very poor at matlab, but I've what I need the script to do for each excel sheet, I'm just unsure how to make it do them for all.
Thank you!!! (I took out some of the not important code)

I think I need to do something along the lines of:
filenames=dir('*.csv')
and I found this that may be useful:
filenames=dir('*.csv');
for file=filenames'
csv=load(file.name);
with stuff in here
end
You have the right idea, but you need to index your file names in order to be able to step through them in the for loop.
FileDir = 'Your Directory';
FileNames = {'Test1';'Test2';'Test3'};
for k=1:length(FileNames)
file=[FileDir,'/',FileNames{k}]);
[outputdata]=xlsread(file,sheet#, data locations);
THE REST OF YOUR LOOP, Indexed by k
end
How you choose to get the file names and directory is up to you.
I need to import some Excel files in MATLAB and work on them. My problem is that each Excel file has 15 sheets and I don't know how to "number" each sheet so that I can make a loop or something similar (because I need to find the average on a certain column on each sheet).
I have already tried importing the data and building a loop but MATLAB registers the sheets as chars.
Use xlsinfo to get the sheet names, then use xlsread in a loop.
[status,sheets,xlFormat] = xlsfinfo(filename);
for sheetindex=1:numel(sheets)
[num,txt,raw]=xlsread(filename,sheets{sheetindex});
data{sheetindex}=num; %keep for example the numeric data to process it later outside the loop.
end
I 've just remembered that i posted this question almost 2 years ago, and since I figured it out, I thought that posting the answer could prove useful to someone in the future.
So to recap; I needed to import a single column from 4 excel files, with each file containing 15 worksheets. The columns were of variable lengths. I figured out two ways to do this. The first one is by using the xlsread function with the following syntax.
for count_p = 1:2
a = sprintf('control_group_%d.xls',count_p);
[status,sheets,xlFormat] = xlsfinfo(a);
for sheetindex=1:numel(sheets)
[num,txt,raw]=xlsread(a,sheets{sheetindex},'','basic');
data{sheetindex}=num;
FifthCol{count_p,sheetindex} = (data{sheetindex}(:,5));
end
end
for count_p = 3:4
a = sprintf('exercise_group_%d.xls',(count_p-2));
[status,sheets,xlFormat] = xlsfinfo(a);
for sheetindex=1:numel(sheets)
[num,txt,raw]=xlsread(a,sheets{sheetindex},'','basic');
data{sheetindex}=num;
FifthCol{count_p,sheetindex} = (data{sheetindex}(:,5));
end
end
The files where obviously named control_group_1, control_group_2 etc. I used the 'basic' input in xlsread, because I only needed the raw data from the files, and it proved to be much faster than using the full functionality of the function.
The second way to import the data, and the one that i ended up using, is building your own activeX server and running a single excelapplication on it. Xlsread "opens" and "closes" an activeX server each time it's called so it's rather time consuming (using the 'basic' input does not though). The code i used is the following.
Folder=cd(pwd); %getting the working directory
d = dir('*.xls'); %finding the xls files
N_File=numel(d); % Number of files
hexcel = actxserver ('Excel.Application'); %starting the activeX server
%and running an Excel
%Application on it
hexcel.DisplayAlerts = true;
for index = 1:N_File %Looping through the workbooks(xls files)
Wrkbk = hexcel.Workbooks.Open(fullfile(pwd, d(index).name)); %VBA
%functions
WorkName = Wrkbk.Name; %getting the workbook name %&commands
display(WorkName)
Sheets=Wrkbk.Sheets; %sheets handle
ShCo(index)=Wrkbk.Sheets.Count; %counting them for use in the next loop
for j = 1:ShCo(index) %looping through each sheet
itemm = hexcel.Sheets.Item(sprintf('sheet%d',j)); %VBA commands
itemm.Activate;
robj = itemm.Columns.End(4); %getting the column i needed
numrows = robj.row; %counting to the end of the column
dat_range = ['E1:E' num2str(numrows)]; %data range
rngObj = hexcel.Range(dat_range);
xldat{index, j} = cell2mat(rngObj.Value); %getting the data in a cell
end;
end
%invoke(hexcel);
Quit(hexcel);
delete(hexcel);
I need to export data to excel sheet with a specific name using Activex. Here is what I did: First i export the data to excel in first for loop and then modify the names of the sheet using second for loop. Can it be done even in one single for loop? I think there should be another better idea.
Note: The size of the data varies.
try
filename = fullfile(pwd,'example.xlsx');
for i=1:5
xlswrite(filename,[1 2;3 4]*i,i);
end
for i = 1:5
myExcel = actxserver('Excel.Application');
excelWorkBook = myExcel.Workbooks.Open(filename,0,false);
excelWorkBook.Worksheets.Item(i).Name = ['new_sheet_' num2str(i)];
excelWorkBook.Save;
excelWorkBook.Close;
myExcel.Quit;
end
catch
% Disp Error message.....
end
The xlswrite function also accepts a string as sheet parameter. So just replace your call by this one:
xlswrite(filename,[1 2;3 4]*i,['new_sheet_' num2str(i)]);
Fratyx's answer is the simplest to implement, but a bit of knowledge of the Excel Object Model goes a long way, so here's how to implement your solution with ActiveX in one loop:
e = actxserver('excel.application');
w = e.Application.Workbooks.Add();
numnewsheets = 4;
for i = 1:numnewsheets
w.Worksheets.Add([],w.Sheets.Item(w.Sheets.Count),1);
w.Worksheets.Item(i).Name = ['new_sheet_' num2str(i)];
w.Worksheets.Item(i).Cells.Range('A1:B2').Value = [1 2;3 4];
end
w.SaveAs(filename)
w.Close
e.Quit
e.delete
To calculate the range required for the size of your data, you will have to open file "xlswrite" and copy out the sub-function "calcrange".
I have an excel spreadsheet with lots of data that I want to import into matlab.
filename = 'for_matlab.xlsx';
sheet = (13*2)+ 1;
xlRange = 'A1:G6';
all_data = {'one_a', 'one_b', 'two_a', 'two_b', 'three_a', 'three_b', 'four_a', 'four_b', 'five_a', 'five_b', 'six_a', 'six_b', 'seven_a', 'seven_b', 'eight_a', 'eight_b', 'nine_a', 'nine_b', 'ten_a', 'ten_b', 'eleven_a', 'eleven_b', 'twelve_a', 'twelve_b', 'thirteen_a', 'thirteen_b', 'fourteen_a'};
%read data from excel spreadsheet
for i=1:sheet,
all_data{i} = xlsread(filename, sheet, xlRange);
end
Each element of the 'all_data' vector has a corresponding matrix in separate excel sheet. The code above imports the last matrix only into all of the variables. Could somebody tell me how to get it so I can import these matrices into individual matlab variables (without calling the xlsread function 28 times)?
You define a loop using i but then put sheet in the actual xlsread call, which will just make it read repeatedly from the same sheet (the value of the variable sheet is not changing). Also not sure whether you intend to somehow save the contents of all_data, as written there's no point in defining it that way as it will just be overwritten.
There are two ways of specifying the sheet using xlsread.
1) Using a number. If you intended this then:
all_data{i} = xlsread(filename, i, xlRange);
2) Using the name of the sheet. If you intended this and the contents of all_data are the names of sheets, then:
data{i} = xlsread(filename, all_data{i}, xlRange); %avoiding overwriting
