# tbl2latex
## About
A *MATLAB* function that reads content from an *Excel* file and converts it to *LaTeX* table code or converts a *MATLAB* table or cell array into *LaTeX* table code. *LaTeX* table code is referring to column entries separated by & and rows ended with \\\
## Read from Excel file
`tbl2latex(filename)`
Read the contents of the *Excel* file `filename` and convert it to *LaTeX* table code.
`tbl2latex(filename,sheet)`
Read the contents of the *Excel* file `filename` on sheet `sheet` and convert it to *LaTeX* table code.
`tbl2latex(filename,sheet,range)`
Read the contents of the *Excel* file `filename` on sheet `sheet` in range `range` and convert it to *LaTeX* table code.
`tbl2latex(filename, sheet, range, dcl)`
`dcl` = A vector containing the the desired number of decimals for every column from left to right that contains numerical values.
The default value is 2 decimals.
`tbl2latex(filename, sheet, range, dcl, type)`
`type` = A vector of characters containing the desired formatting of the numerical values for every column from left to right
using the *formatSpec* from the `sprintf` function.
The default value is 'f'.
See further in the documentation for [`sprintf`](https://se.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/sprintf.html?searchHighlight=sprintf&s_tid=doc_srchtitle#btf_bfy-1_sep_shared-formatSpec).
### Example
`tbl2latex('mytable.xlsx','tables', 'A1:C3', [3, 2], ['f','e'])`
Read the content in file `mytable.xlsx` on sheet `tables` in range A1:C3 where the first column with numerical values will be rounded to 3 decimals and the second one rounded to 2 decimals. The first column will be displayed as a float and the second column in exponential form.
#### Contents of the Excel file
```
A B C D
1 Type U-value Cost g-value
2 Window 0,953 6500 0,5
3 Wall 0,16 8425,5
4 Roof 0,10 7425
```
#### Output from tbl2latex
```
Type & U-value & Cost \\
Window & 0.953 & 6.50e+03 \\
Wall & 0.160 & 8.43e+03 \\
```
## Convert existing MATLAB table or cell array
`tbl2latex(tbl)`
Converts the contents of `tbl` to *LaTeX* table code. `tbl` can be a *MATLAB* table or cell array.
`tbl2latex(tbl, dcl)`
`dcl` = A vector containing the the desired number of decimals for every column from left to right that contains numerical values.
The default value is 2 decimals.
`tbl2latex(tbl, dcl, type)`
`type` = A vector of characters containing the desired formatting of the numerical values for every column from left to right
using the *formatSpec* from the `sprintf` function.
The default value is 'f'.
See further in the documentation for [`sprintf`](https://se.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/sprintf.html?searchHighlight=sprintf&s_tid=doc_srchtitle#btf_bfy-1_sep_shared-formatSpec).
## Foreign Characters
The default character encoding for *MATLAB* on *Windows* is usually *windows-1252*. `tbl2latex.m` is written in *UTF-8*.
This will cause characters such as å, ä, ö not to display correctly.
The character encoding for your system can be shown by running the command `slCharacterEncoding` in the *MATLAB* terminal.
To change the character encoding to *UTF-8* run the command `slCharacterEncoding('UTF-8')`.
