I am trying to write data on to Excel on a specific but dynamic location (say not E1 or C3 but depending on what I have done in the code, row no. 2*i and column 4*y). Is it possible to do that?

You need to convert your row and column into cell name that xlswrite understands.

cellname=[xlscol(column) num2str(row)];

You need xlscol from fileexchange: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/28343-column-converter-for-excel?focused=5156839&tab=function

Note that xlswrite starts to write from that cell, but does not limit writing to that cell. If you feed it with an array or matrix, it will write on neigbour cells too.

An unexpected behaviour (at least to me) is that it writes one letter per cell when writing a char array or string. Therefore, use cellstr(yourtext) when writing those.

@Caglar you can select the particular code and press the code button so that the reader is able to know where the code is easily, thanks for understanding.
