changing exponential value into float

I normalized 'area' data between zero and one. Then I write that values into xl sheet. But many values are exponential. I want to change that exponential values to float type. Please somebody help.
This is my code:
max_Ar=max(Ar);
min_Ar=min(Ar);
range=(max_Ar-min_Ar)+ eps(max_Ar-min_Ar);
for i=1:100
Area(i)=(Ar(i)-(min_Ar - eps(max_Ar-min_Ar)))/range;
ex = 10^(3-floor(log10(Area(i))));
Area(i)= round(Area(i) * ex) / ex;
end
xlswrite('Tomato_Yellow_Leaf_Curl_Virus.xlsx',Ar(:))
xlswrite('Tomato_Yellow_Leaf_Curl_Virus1.xlsx',Area(:))

Hi Sajitha, Try the code below.
clc;
max_Ar = max(Ar);
min_Ar = min(Ar);
range = (max_Ar - min_Ar) + eps(max_Ar - min_Ar);
for i = 1:100
Area(i) = (Ar(i) - (min_Ar - eps(max_Ar-min_Ar))) / range;
ex = 10^(3-floor(log10(Area(i))));
Area(i) = round(Area(i) * ex) / ex;
Area(i) = str2double(sprintf('%f', Area(i)));
Ar(i) = str2double(sprintf('%f', Ar(i)));
end
xlswrite('Tomato_Yellow_Leaf_Curl_Virus.xlsx', double(Ar(:)));
xlswrite('Tomato_Yellow_Leaf_Curl_Virus1.xlsx', double(Area(:)));

dlmwrite with a precision of '%.1074f' should handle all of the cases.
Possibly with the processing you are doing you might be able to use a considerably smaller number than 1074. 1074 is needed for eps(realmin)

Yes. Conversion of binary to characters is done in software, not in hardware. The more digits you convert, the more time it takes the software.
File i/o time mostly depends on the number of full blocks of data to be written; when you write more characters then it is going to take more time.
