Hello Everyone, I have a cell array C where the first row is string and the remaining rows contain numbers. How do I write the variable C into a CSV file?
For example,
c = {'abc' 'def' 'ghk';[23],[24],[67];[87],[13],[999];[656],[6767],[546]};
Thanks

To write the data in C to a CSV file. Use “writetable” in combination with the “cell2table” function.
% Convert cell to a table and use first row as variable names
T = cell2table(c(2:end,:),'VariableNames',c(1,:))
% Write the table to a CSV file
writetable(T,'myDataFile.csv')

You could do it as follows with fprintf
c = {'abc' 'def' 'ghk';[23],[24],[67];[87],[13],[999];[656],[6767],[546]};
fid = fopen('junk.csv','w')
fprintf(fid,'%s, %s, %s\n',c{1,:})
fprintf(fid,'%f, %f, %f\n',c{2:end,:})
fclose(fid)

Azzi,good to see your comments here. I usually use fprintf(fid...) for the first header lines then use csvwrite with the option -append...

Alternatively, you could use the method developed by Sylvain Fiedler. Below is the link to the file. It works with empty cells, numeric, char, string and logical cells. One array can contain all of them, but only one value per cell.

Convert to table and use writetable function T = cell2table(c(2:end, :)); T.Properties.VariableNames = c(1:end, :); writetable(T, res.csv);

I came to this page looking for an answer and found that all solutions were very slow for large arrays that include numeric and char based cell arrays of non-standard combinations. Instead, I created my own based off of previous comments and other research. I hope this helps someone as it has helped me reduce the time significantly.
function cellWrite(filename,origCell) % save a new version of the cell for reference modCell = origCell; % assume some cells are numeric, in which case set to char iNum = cellfun(@isnumeric,origCell); %% Method 1 using indexing and straight conversion = 7 sec tic modCell(iNum) = cellstr(num2str([origCell{iNum}]')); % toc %% Method 2 using arrayfun = 25 sec % tic % modCell(iNum) = arrayfun(@num2str,[origCell{iNum}],'unif',0); % toc
% tic [rNum,cNum] = size(origCell); frmt = repmat([repmat('%s,',1,cNum-1),'%s\n'],1,rNum); fid = fopen(filename,'w'); fprintf(fid,frmt,modCell{:}); fclose(fid); toc
end

Correction to the code - the cell needs to be transposed before writing because the data is written left to right vs. matlab reading cell top down.

convert the cell to a table and save the table as CSV
TT = array2table(C,'VariableNames',{'abc' 'def' 'ghk'});
writetable(TT,filename);
To read it back you can use TT = readtable(filename)
