XLSWRITE Error: The server threw and exception

When I try to use the xlswrite function to export a matrix to Excel, I get the following error:

??? Error using ==> xlswrite at 211 Error: The server threw an exception

I've tried deactivating all add-ins in Excel

Can you get the actual error message?

how big is your matrix?

I tried writing out a column vector of length 2*1048576 to Excel 2010 (twice the maximum number of rows in Excel) and got a different error message. That gave

??? Error using ==> xlswrite at 213

Excel returned: Error: Object returned error code: 0x800A03EC.

Still wondering why did you get that error?
