Creating an Excel Table with MATLAB - excel

Question

Since writing varying sized data ranges to a sheet seems to remove an Excel Table if the data range is larger than the existing Excel tables range, I want to create a Table in Excel every time I run the code. I'm currently having a fair bit of difficulty creating the tables. The code I have right now to try and create the ListObject:
eSheets = e.ActiveWorkbook.Sheets;
eSheet = eSheets.get('Item', j);
eSheet.Activate;
eSheet.Range(horzcat('A1:R',mat2str(size(obj,1)+1))).Select;
eSheet.Listobjects.Add;
eSheet.Listobjects.Item(1).TableStyle = 'TableStyleMedium2';
eSheet.ListObjects.Item(1).Name = tablename;
Any commentary or suggestions would be appreciated

Answer 1

I dont know about using eSheet in matlab but with the function
xlswrite(filename,A,sheet,xlRange)
you can also write your data from a matrix to an excel table http://de.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/xlswrite.html and with
[A,B] = xlsfinfo('foofoo.xlsx');
sheetValid = any(strcmp(B, 'foo2'));
you can also check if a table sheet already exist so that you wont override the old one and create a new one, as seen in https://de.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/25848-how-to-check-existence-of-worksheet-in-excel-file
I am not sure if this is what you are looking for thougth

Alright, since the post got downvoted (not sure why...) I found my own answer with the help of some VBA forums and MATLAB Newsgroup. Here's what the final code looks like for anyone else that has issues:
e = actxserver('Excel.Application');
ewb = e.Workbooks.Open('Path/to/file');
eSheets = e.ActiveWorkbook.Sheets;
eSheet = eSheets.get('Item', j);
eSheet.Activate;
range = horzcat('A1:R',mat2str(size(obj,1)+1));
range_todelete = horzcat('A1:R',mat2str(size(obj,1)+300));
Range1 = eSheet.get('Range',range_todelete);
Range1.Value=[];
eSheet.Range(range).Select;
name = 'Table_Name';
try eSheet.ListObjects(name).Item(1).Delete
catch
end
eSheet.Listobjects.Add;
eSheet.ListObjects.Item(1).Name = name;
eSheet.ListObjects.Item(1).TableStyle = 'TableStyleMedium2';
Range = eSheet.get('Range',range);
Range.Value = cellarray;
