writetable change "Row" in cell A1

I'm familiar with the writetable function to save a table as an Excel file. I regularly use the WriteRowNames option to include the row names in the file. However, when Matlab writes the file it always write "Row" as the title of the series above the row names in cell A1 of the Excel file. Is there any way to change this label?

David, you can set the dimension names property, such as
data.Properties.DimensionNames{1} = 'SomethingOtherThanRow';
Hope this helps.

Very helpful! One minor correction: I found I needed to use brackets rather than curly braces:
my_table.Properties.DimensionNames(1) = "SomethingOtherThanRow";
