Excel-Export Read-only problem

3 views (last 30 days)
Hello,
my created excel file is read-only, how i can change it? Here is my code:
function params = create_log_file(params)
if isfolder(params.savepath_log)
savepath_log = params.savepath_log;
else
savepath_log = pwd;
end
filename = params.logf;
filename = [savepath_log '/' filename];
c = cell(6, 2);
c{1,1} = 'Block-Nr';
c{2,1} = 'Gravur';
c{3,1} = 'Foliendicke';
c{4,1} = 'Anzahl Blätter (SOLL)';
c{5,1} = 'Aktuelle Anzahl Blätter:';
c{6,1} = 'Durchschnittliche Zeit pro Blatt (s)';
c{1,2} = params.bnr;
c{2,2} = params.inputs.bandtype;
c{3,2} = params.ft;
c{4,2} = params.nst;
c{5,2} = num2str(params.ns);
c{6,2} = sprintf('%.2f', 0.00);
writecell(c, filename,'Range', 'A1:B6');
c1 = cell(1,7);
c1{1,1} = 'Blatt-Nr.';
c1{1,2} = 'Datum/Uhrzeit ';
c1{1,3} = 'Zeit pro Blatt (s)';
c1{1,4} = 'Linienbreite';
c1{1,5} = 'Original Bild (Link)';
c1{1,6} = 'Berechnungsergebnis Kantenerkennung (Link)';
c1{1,7} = 'Bild Positionierung (Link)';
writecell(c1, filename,'Range', 'A8:G8');
sp = ' ';
sp = [sp sp sp];
writecell({sp, sp, sp}, filename,'Range', 'E7:G7');
% - Create an Excel object.
params.ex = actxserver('excel.application');
% - workbook.
params.ew = params.ex.Workbooks;
% - open file
params.ef = params.ew.Open(filename);
% - get sheet
params.es = params.ef.Sheets.Item('Sheet1');
function params = reopen_log_file(params)
if isfolder(params.savepath_log)
savepath_log = params.savepath_log;
else
savepath_log = pwd;
end
filename = params.logf;
filename = [savepath_log '/' filename];
% - reopen the Excel object.
params.ex = actxserver('excel.application');
% - workbook.
params.ew = params.ex.Workbooks;
% - open file
params.ef = params.ew.Open(filename);
% - get sheet
params.es = params.ef.Sheets.Item('Sheet1');

mmmh the first saved excel file is always read only, the next files are ok. Dont know why.
So my code is ok ?

Any time you invoke Excel directly using ActiveX, you run into the risk that a file you worked with earlier might still be open in MATLAB due to buffering for efficiency. There is not a lot you can do about it other than not using MS Windows.
However, since MATLAB knows about it own buffering, a potential workaround would be to copyfile() the file and work with the copied version in Excel.

When you open the workbook use additional parameters.
Try change "params.ew.Open(filename)" by "params.ew.Open(filename, 0, false)"
