I have imported data into an workspace file. I have tried writng this to a xls file but keep gettign error.

The error is:

'Error using xlswrite (line 172).  Input data must be a numeric, cell or logical array.  

filename = 'TBS020110NWear100cycle.xls';
workspace=TBS020110NWear100cycle;
xlswrite(filename,workspace,'1','A1');

I looked at the file and it all looks like data.

What shows up for class(workspace) ?

Note that it is not recommend to call a variable workspace since that will prevent you from using the workspace function. This has nothing to do with your problem however.

See Walter's question so we can help with your problem.

Thank you.

I changed the variable as suggested:

filename = 'CETR1.xls'; worktofile=CETR1; xlswrite(filename,worktofile,'1','A1');

class(worktofile) is double

I can take the variable and save it as a new array and the issue disappears but I am not sure why.

[Walter Roberson]

I am not sure whether the problem is still occurring when you are using worktofile ?
