Saving a .mat file in csv format

I have a .mat file and the data structure is as below.
Data =
struct with fields:
axis1: [25626600×1 double]
axis2: [25626600×1 double]
axis3: [25626600×1 double]
datenum: [25626600×1 double]
sample_rate: 30
serial_number: 'MOS2D10171145'
I want this .mat file to be save as a csv file.
I tried this code but it gives me this error.
csvwrite('FileName.csv', Data);
Undefined function 'real' for input arguments of type 'struct'.
Error in dlmwrite (line 189)
str = sprintf('%.*g%+.*gi',precn,real(m(i,j)),precn,imag(m(i,j)));
Error in csvwrite (line 42)
dlmwrite(filename, m, ',', r, c);

csvwrite does not support to write .mat files or struct type data into a csv file. It only supports numerical matrices.
So Data is a struct consisting of several fields with different data types (vectors, scala and string?) and Data is saved in a .mat file?
How exactly would you like your csv file to be? Can you show an example with 10 elements (instead of the 25626600)?
What exactly did you edit? And how does that answer our questions?

Try creating a double array from your structure:
data = [Data.axis1(:), Data.axis2(:), Data.axis3(:), Data.datenum(:)];
writematrix(data, fullFileName);
