Developing a Simple Mechanism to Log Metric Values

A few years ago, I developed a mechanism and MATLAB^® function to track values over time that I was interested in monitoring. However, I found that storing the data in MAT-files made it inconvenient to share data internally with others not using MATLAB.

So I want to develop a method again, this time storing the data in Excel^®. In addition to deciding on how the data will be structured in the Excel file, I will need to create a function that lets me save metrics into it. It should take at least a metric name and value as parameters.

At about 19 minutes into the video, I have machine problems and need to reboot.
