Error using xlswrite on matlab2011b server

Hi,

I was trying to run an time consuming code on a linux server. The code does run on my windows system but it takes a long time for increased iterations and hence I am tryingto use server. However the matlab version on server is 2011b and it is giving me an error:

Error using xlswrite (line 193)
An error occurred on data export in CSV format.
Error in Foldortrann (line 74)
    xlswrite( excelname, Per_tran_Result ,'Per_tanin' );
  Caused by:
    Error using dlmwrite (line 118)
    The input cell array cannot be converted to a matrix.

I tried using "xlwrite" but it didnt work as that also gave me an error. Is there some alternative of xlswrite that I could use to write the files? Please do advise as I am a newbie to matlab. Thanks a lot for your time

xlwrite() (from the File Exchange) is your easiest hope on a non-Windows machine.

What I would suggest in your situation would be to save() the cells as .mat files, and then over on the Windows machines read in the .mat and xlswrite() them.
