Hi, please help me .
Here is my code:-
filename = 'F:\FYP\Training.xls';
A = {person,A,B,EuclideanDistance,r};
sheet = 1;
xlRange = 'A2';
xlswrite(filename,A,sheet,xlRange)
I want my new data to be insert to the last row(empty row) in that training file.

To write in the empty rows, you have to specify that to xlswrite. So, either you know the row number beforehand and use that 'xlRange' to write the variable 'A'. Example:
filename = 'F:\FYP\Training.xls';
A = {person,A,B,EuclideanDistance,r};
sheet = 1;
empty_row = 10
xlRange = ['A',num2str(empty_row)];
xlswrite(filename,A,sheet,xlRange)
Or if you don't know the row number beforehand you can count the filled rows inside the file using xlsread. Example:
filename = 'F:\FYP\Training.xls';
A = {person,A,B,EuclideanDistance,r};
sheet = 1;
[~,~,ev] = xlsread(filename,sheet); % ev is cell array containing every filled row and column
empty_row = size(ev,1) + 1;
xlRange = ['A',num2str(empty_row)];
xlswrite(filename,A,sheet,xlRange)
I hope it helps !
