How to Debug Matlab & Excel at the same time ?

Hi ! I'm currently using Matlab and Excel together with Matlab Builder Ex.

I have some questions : is there a way to debug both Matlab & Excel codes at the same time ? I mean can we use the link between the two codes and see where the bug is happening in the process ?

For example, we compile everything and if there's a bug, either in the excel code or the matlab code, we can pinpoint it directly in excel or in matlab.

And if it's possible, is there a way to see the process of the code and the moments when it passes from excel to matlab and from matlab to excel ?

Thanks in advance for your answers

Alexandre.

Hi Alexendre,

really debugging the compiled code will not work. An easy way to find out "who to blame" is to add a "save" command at the beginning of your MATLAB function, something like

if isdeployed
  save('C:\temp\inputFromExcel.mat');
end

Then run your code from Excel, and take a look (in MATLAB) at the variables in the generated .mat file. Debug the code in MATLAB using these datat, and see what the results are ...
