Converting a workspace file to an m-file

Hi, I have looked through https://se.mathworks.com/help/matlab/workspace.html for some rapid method to save a table -file in the workspace into an m-file stored in nthe MATLAB folder.

I have

T1 = readtable('data.xlsx');

and by loading it, it appears in nthe Workspace. However, I would also like to store the 5x2 matrix table file into an own m-file. How can that be done?

Thanks!

Data are usually stored in file types that are designed for storing data, e.g. a .MAT file using SAVE() and LOAD().

Is there a particular reason why you cannot use a .MAT file?

@Stephen23 because I was going to use it as input for Curve fitter package, by opening it from the folder. Just to try the "dummy" version of clicking with mouse instead of running with a program.

I don't see why that stops you from loading/importing the data in a script/function.

While I also wonder about the reason (See comment by Stephen23), one conceptual idea is to export into an ASCII format, or table format and then change the file extension.
