Copy variables into excel smoothly

I have a variable A:

24.3712410000000

24.2311330000000

23.4083360000000

24.2096500000000

23.6800080000000

23.2512100000000

23.5765810000000

24.1315920000000

23.4942910000000

24.3568280000000

I want to copy this into excel, however excel does not view these as numbers since comma in excel is "," not "."

So I wonder how I can work around this? I also want the values to have two decimals:

In excel it should look like this:

24,37

24,23

23,41

etc.

Don't copy-paste data into Excel. The simple, easy, robust approach is to use WRITEMATRIX:

[Chetan Bhavsar]

one way if he dont want to change locale and still need to do this then he can conver this to string or just add

'24,37

like this in this way excel dont apply formatting, please correct me if i am wrong

If you really must copy-paste data then you will need to change the decimal radix character... you could either do this within Excel (e.g. paste as text, replace char, paste special) or within MATLAB, e.g.:

V = [24.371241;24.231133;23.408336;24.20965;23.680008;23.25121;23.576581;24.131592;23.494291;24.356828]

V = 10×1

24.3712 24.2311 23.4083 24.2096 23.6800 23.2512 23.5766 24.1316 23.4943 24.3568

C = strrep(compose('%#.8g',V),'.',',');
fprintf('%s\n',C{:})

24,371241
24,231133
23,408336
24,209650
23,680008
23,251210
23,576581
24,131592
23,494291
24,356828

I recommend exporting the data at its full precision, and only changing the display precision in Excel.

Note that whether MS Excel displays numeric data with a decimal comma or a decimal point depends entirely on your locale settings. The locale settings make absolutely no difference to the numeric data stored in the Excel file.
