'mtimes' error and how to fix it

I am writing code and this error keeps popping up and I am not sure how to fix Untitled5
v = importfile('v.TXT', 1, 3409);
deltaL=v(:,2);
F=v(:,3)*1000;
Undefined function 'mtimes' for input arguments of type 'dataset'.
How do I fix it? Thanks

You could try
F = v(:,3) .* 1000;
but please tell us what
which -all importfile
indicates. The versions of importfile() that I am finding do not return any value.
Are you possibly wanting importdata() instead of importfile() ?

importfile is the default name for a function that is automatically generated from the Import Tool.
Mikaell's "Answer" moved here since it's not an answer to his original question.
It doesn´t work. You have a true.. I want importdata(), but whe i try it: com.mathworks.jmi.MatlabException: Too many output arguments.

v appears to be a dataset. If you want to multiply one of the variables in this dataset with another, you'll need to extract it.
If the variable has a name, you could use dataset.variable_name to extract it. So for the documentation example:
hospital.AtRisk * pi
