It's going to be something like:
excel = actxserver('Excel.Application');
excel.Workbooks.Open('C:\somewhere\someexcelfilewithmacro.xlsx')
excel.Run('NameOfMacro');
excel.Quit; %when done
Of course, it's likely that you need more but with so little details it's unknown what that would be.
"or coding it again in MATLAB language".
There's no translator form VB to matlab. You'll have to write the code yourself.
However, this begs the question: why don't you run the macro directly from excel since it's already working there.

ExcelApp = actxserver('Excel.Application');
ExcelApp.Visible = 1;
ExcelApp.Workbooks.Open(fullfile(pwd,'\filename.xls'));
ExcelApp.Run('ThisWorkBook.Macro1');
ExcelApp.Quit;
ExcelApp.release;
