Is it possible to write to an excel spreadsheet without opening excel?

Is it possible to write to an excel spreadsheet without opening excel (it is not installed on the computer)? I have tried using the 'UseExcel' parameter but this doesn't seem to work in the xlswrite and writetable functions.

Hi,

Did you tried writetable or xlswrite functions and they did not work?

writetable has a property: UseExcel and you can set it off.

writetable(TableData,'myExcelWorkbook.xls','Sheet',2,'Range','A1:F9','UseExcel',false); 

If above does not work, you can download this function from File Exchange:

FileExchange - xlwrite
