Writing a matrix with header into a .csv file
Show older comments
I have this matrix:
A=(1 2 3;4 5 6)
I want to add headline to the matrix as the output is in .csv file. This is what I have tried so far.
filename= uigetfile('*.csv','choose data file');
title ={'x-axis' ,'y-axis','z-axis'};
if exist('filename');
csvwrite('result.csv',title,A);
end
The output should look like this in csv:
|x-axis|y-axis|z-axis|
|1 |2 |3 |
|4 |5 |6 |
This is supposed to be a lookalike of excel cell :) I'd be very grateful if someone could recommend a way to figure this out.
Regard, Happy

Try sending it to a table instead:
T = array2table(A,'VariableNames',{'x_axis','y_axis','z_axis'})
then using writetable

As I suggested, use the writetable command.
You can read about that command using doc writetable

- If you do not want the titles or the name of the columns then you can use:
A=[1 2 3;4 5 6]
csvwrite('file.csv',A)
- If you want to specify the name of the titles as well then you can first convert the matrix into the table and then write the table to the csv file.
A=[1 2 3;4 5 6]
T = array2table(A)
T.Properties.VariableNames(1:3) = {'x_axis','y_axis','z_axis'}
writetable(T,'file1.csv')
