WRITEEXCEL - MathCAD 15 - won't write file

Hello all,

I'm working with the WRITEEXCEL function for the first time and seem unable to make even the most basic example work.  In the attached file, no file gets written and I am unclear why this would be.

Best regards...

Although you've written the WRITEEXCEL command correctly, Mathcad won't do anything with it until you evaluate it.  Either write Result:=WRITEEXCEL(...) or WRITEEXCEL(...)=; the former is usually preferable to displaying a large array.
