Starting Excel Link

Automatic Start

If you do not want Excel Link and MATLAB to start automatically when you start Excel, enter =MLAutoStart("no") in a worksheet cell. This function changes the initialization file so that Excel Link and MATLAB no longer start automatically when you start Excel. See MLAutoStart in Function Reference.

Manual Start

To start Excel Link and MATLAB manually from Excel, pull down the Tools menu and select Macro. In the Macro Name/Reference box enter matlabinit and click Run. Watch for the MATLAB Command Window button to appear on the taskbar. See matlabinit in Function Reference.
