Hello,
I would like to write Matlab output having dimension 2040x5x174 to an excel sheet. xlswrite function is restricted for 2D array as I get following error: 'Dimension of input array cannot be higher than two.'
Is there any other function that I can use or any other way to write this. Thanks.

Either reshape() or write the slices to separate sheets. Excel has no support for 3d arrays.

The function “xlswrite” can handle only 2D data. In order to write your 3D data you can either reshape the data into a large 2D array, or you can run a loop to save each sheet of your data to a sheet of the excel file. The conversion from 3D to 2D can be done in a couple of ways. The following examples demonstrate these techniques:
%% Example 1
a = rand(3,3,3)
for i = 1:3
% use a for loop to remove 1 dimension and write into different worksheets
b = (squeeze(a(i,:,:)))'
xlswrite('exanple1.xls', b, ['Sheet', num2str(i)])
end
%% Example 2
a = rand(3,3,3)
% use reshape to remove 1 dimension
b = reshape(a,3,9)
xlswrite('example2.xls', b)
