I have problem don't use tab to separate cell for writing file to excel.
this algorithm write file to excel one cell only.i want write file separate cell on excel file.
please suggest me about algorithm write file in excel file.

Unfortunately your question isn't clear. Are you asking how to write a tab into a Fortran output file? If yes, here's an example:

Code:
      open (unit=10, file='excel.txt')
      write (10,*) 3.14159, char(9), 2.71828, char(9), 1.4142
      close (unit=10)
      end

This produces a tab-delimited text file with three numbers, that excel can read. I had to click through two screens in Excel's file-import wizard, first to choose that the file is delimited, second to choose the delimiter (tab). Each number goes into a separate cell.

I write program follow as below.I have problem data after write to excel file don't separate cell.Please suggest me.
Algorithm
program writefile
implicit real*8(a-h,o-z)
integer*8 a1,a2,a3
real*8 b1,b2,b3
b1=1.0d+00
b2=2.0d+00
b3=3.0d+00

open(unit=7,file='writefile.xls',status='unknown')
write(7,300) b1,b2,b3
300 format(2x,'Load',f6.1/
*,2x,'Height',f6.1/
*,2x,'Deflect',f6.1)
stop
end
Result
Load 1.0
Height 2.0
Deflect 3.0
 
Writing a true Excel file would be complex. I assume you're trying to write a comma delimited text file that Excel can then import. If you suffiix the file name with .CSV, Excell will assume it's a comma separated value text file. Otherwise, you'll have to select comma delimited file as the file type when you do the import.

Thank you very much
