ZM - check to see if you have permission to read and write to that file. If you do, then consider using readtable instead of xlsread to see if that somehow (?) allows you to better read and write to the same file (as xlsread isn't recommended to be used).

Zhina - did you try using readtable instead of xlsread? What happens if, for a new file, you create and write to it with writetable and then try this again? For example,
writetable(s1,'edit_firststage2.xlsx');
writetable(s1,'edit_firststage2.xlsx');
Does the second writetable fail? I realize that you are writing the same data to the same file, but this would be an interesting test to see if writing to pre-existing files is a problem OR is it just a problem when you try to read from a file (with xlsread) and then try to write to that same file?
