I need to save multiple MATLAB tables into an Excel spreadsheet; one worksheet for each table. I want the worksheets to be formatted to be easily read. So I develop a function that will do this by starting with a template worksheet and replicating it many times.

Are my blog post titles getting out of hand? Too many levels of hierarchy?
This Cody problem introduces the newish timetable datatype which I don’t know much about. Let’s take a look and see how you can use it. I get hung-up on one aspect of the problem until the very… read more >>

Here I try the first problem again in the Release 2016b Features Challenge. This time I don’t use regular expressions (with regexp), but use a new function in release 2016b (which I was kind of supposed to do the first time).

If I find a defect on our website, I first look for other similar defects and then create a test that runs regularly to catch future occurrences. I recently noticed a video thumbnail was not the correct aspect ratio: it was 4:3 instead of 16:9, like the middle one in… read more >>

I did part 2 of the text manipulation set of problems in the Release 2016b Features Challenge but forgot to record it (Doh!). So here is part 3 where you need to insert text into a string. I like to find the strangest looking frame from the video to use… read more >>

My colleague Tim makes a video presentation of new hires joining MathWorks for each quarterly company meeting. He likes to use uniformly cropped photos of staff members, similar to this one of when I joined 20 years ago today (I was more pixelated in those days).

But this can be time… read more >>
