How do I resize a table in excel using Matlab

3 views (last 30 days)
Hi,
I am using Matlab to create an output sheet in excel including some graphs and a table. So far I am using the actxserver and it seems to be working quite nice for the graphs. For the Table on the other hand I seem to have a problem.
After some initial set up, like this:
Excel = actxserver('Excel.Application');
Resultfile = [pwd '\Summary plots\Summary.xlsx'];
Workbook = invoke(Excel.Workbooks,'Open',Resultfile);
set(Excel,'Visible',1);
ActSheet=Workbook.Sheets.Item(3);
ActSheet.Activate;
Workbook.ActiveSheet.Name='Data';
I use Listobjects.Add to create the table
ExpTable = Excel.ActiveSheet.Listobjects.Add;
Problem is it pops up in a "random" place and size. Then I cant seem to resize it. And reposition it.
I tried with
ExpTable.Range='$J$12:$L$13'
or
set(ExpTable.InsertRowRange.EntireRow,'Address','$J$12:$L$13')
Dont kow why it is not working. In VBA this is the code for resizing
ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table3").Resize Range("$J$12:$L$13")
But a similar code in Matlab does not work at all
ActiveSheet.ListObjects('Table3').Resize Range('$J$12:$L$13')
Can anyone help me on this? Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Before you add the Listobject, you have to define the range:
indexSheet = 1;
range = 'A1:B3';
tablestyle = 'TableStyleMedium8';
Excel = actxserver('Excel.Application');
Sheets = Excel.ActiveWorkBook.Sheets;
ActiveSheet = get(Sheets, 'Item', indexSheet);
ActiveSheet.Activate;
Excel.ActiveSheet.Range(range).Select;
Excel.ActiveSheet.Listobjects.Add;
Excel.ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Item(1).TableStyle = tablestyle;
