Error using xlswrite (line 165) Dimension of input array cannot be higher than two.

I load resvol.mat in Matlab. When I try to write V3f to excel xlswrite('u.xlsx',V3f); I get this error - Error using xlswrite (line 165) Dimension of input array cannot be higher than two. Could somebody please help?

I had a similar problem recently, I think (without knowing what your variables are) is that xlswrite can only handle matrices and cells with specific formats, so if you have a struct or a table it will not work. Check the data that you are saving to pinpoint the problem.

Thank you for your answer.

The error is clear, xlswrite cannot write 3D arrays (such as your V3f array) since excel spreadsheet are 2D.

What would you expect xlswrite to do with a 3D arrays, what would it do with the 18 pages of your matrix?

Thank you for your answer. Is there another way to do this?

To do what?

Again, how do you want 3D data written in a 2D spreadsheet? That's not a matlab problem, it's a conceptual problem. Once you've decided how to write 3D data in excel, it's probably trivial to implement in matlab.
