Hello,
I've created a stand alone executable via Matlab. It has a feature which updates a specific excel file. I can also read from that excel file.
I suppose, it means that this excel file must be in the same folder where my *.exe file is, right?
I mean, I'd like to distribute the app to other colleagues. So, I need to instruct them: "keep the excel & exe in the same folder". I can't somehow "hide" or "compile" my excel into the exe, right? Because it would be a much "cleaner" solution if all I have to do is to distribute simply one exe file that include everything that's needed to run the app.
THANK YOU!

It is my understanding that you are trying to make a standalone MATLAB app with excel files as resources.
Please refer to the following MATLAB answers link to understand how you can create standalone MATLAB apps that include Excel data template -

I know how to create a standalone app which includes excel files. I'm asking something else:
The story goes like this - my app performs a certain test on data. The spec for the pass/fail criteria is stored in external excel file (it must be excel file, can't be mat file).
When user click "Start Test" button, he get's a promt showing the current spec limits. He can choose 2 options:
  1. continue with current spec lims ---> nothing happens to the excel file.
  2. update the promted spec, and store it for future usage ---> in that case, excel file should be updated, so next time user reads it, an updated spec would be shown.
Now, my questions is - when I distribute this app to other colleagues in my organization, should I instruct them something like: "please make sure the exe file and the excel file are stored in the same folder".
OR
Is there a way for Matlab to compile it all together, so I could distribute only 1 single exe file, and it would incorporate all the needed files (and of course I'll still maintain the excel read/write capability I've described above)? Obviously I prefer the second option (if exist), as it would be a much "neater & compact" solution.
