This functions saves some of the data from cellList produced by MicrobeTracker into an Excel or CSV file. The output data are saved as a matrix in which each row corresponds to a bacterial cell and the columns are: (A) frame number, (B) cell number, (C) cell length, (D) cell area, (E) cell volume, (F) max width of the cell. The Excell (but not CSV) file also gets a header with the names of the columns. The CSV file will contain NaN for the values of the signals if they are missing in the cell list.

• <cellList> - an array that contains cell meshes produced by MicrobeTracker. An input dialog will appear if the value is not provided.

• <filename> - name of the output file (must be .xls or .csv). An input dialog will appear if the value is not provided.
