Hello,
My script writes to an xls file. I am packaging this as an app to pass onto others to use. However it occurred to me that it could be possible that they don't have excel. I was wondering if there was a way for matlab to check if you have excel installed before writing/opening an excel file.
Thanks

Look at the code for xlswrite, which does
try
Excel = matlab.io.internal.getExcelInstance;
catch exception %#ok<NASGU>
warning(message('MATLAB:xlswrite:NoCOMServer'));
