Great idea!  However, the built plugins are missing:

Scilab_XLL.xll
Scilab_XLLC.dll
Scilab_XLL.NET.dll
xlwDotNet-vc90-mt-4_0_0f0.dll

Did you get it to work after adding those files?  I can't seem to get the link to work.

I'm running:
W7 - 64 bit
Office 2010 - 32 bit
SciLab - 32 bit (tried SciLab 64 bit as well)

I installed Scilab_XLL from the "Module manager - ATOMS" within SciLab, then
downloaded the 
zip file and copied all of those files over manually to the bin folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\scilab-5.4.1\contrib\Scilab_XLL\0.1.1-1\bin

I also got the add-in loaded properly through Excel and it shows up and so do the
functions.

Hi,

Where are those add-ins? They did not come with the .zip file.

Thanks,

Posting this here and on the xls link page
I had an issue that I believe is very common, and as a novice programmer - took a 
minute to iron out:

Need to run a scilab script from Excel
Script imports values from Excel
Does math
Results are sent back to Excel

Reached out to Scilab Enterprises. They quoted me a few thousand $ to develop a 
functioning 'excel live link' toolbox to perform the above 

I managed to do it rather simply, and thought this should be public

~9 line macro is all it takes

VBA Shell function to execute script (requires full path to scilex.exe and your 
script. See the introtoscilab.pdf for "-f" syntax)

Use readxls to get values from excel to scilab (works great)

Do math

Write results to a temp csv with csvWrite

Have script exit scilab

Have macro wait till your temp csv exists

Then refresh data connection that pulls values into proper places

Then Kill the csv.

Done with 1 button click!
