Why are thevalues in one row of the matrix floating point type and the others are fixed?

For some reason when the values are read in using xlsread the first row is floating point and the rest are fixed.

All values are fixed to three decimal places in excel.

The only difference is that the first row has decimal values other than naught.

Is there any particular reason for this?

All values are fixed and aren't derived from other values in excel.

Thanks.

Hi Justin,

Can you share the Excel sheet, that is, the '.xls' file on which you are observing this behaviour? It would help me to check what the issue is exactly.
