Write cell (contains numbers and strings) to xls

Hi,

I have the following 2 cell array.

SubName  - contains string 
Movement  - contains numbers.

i combine them using this,

combine = [Subname,Movement];

combine is also a cell array.

i Write it to xls, using this:

xlswrite('test.xls',combine);

the error show: The input cell array cannot be converted to a matrix.

Anyone know what I can do to write my cell combine (contains string and numbers) to xls?

Which OS are you using, and if you are using Windows then do you have Excel installed? Which MATLAB version are you using?

If you are not using R2012a, and are not using MS Windows with Excel installed, then you can only write numeric data if I recall correctly.
