I have a text files with two colums, when I used the
importfile(Data_Chan1.txt);
data=Data_Chan1(2:end,1:2);
I get error in reading the data.

I used the import data button on the toolstrip to import the text file. Then I generated the function below.
DataChan1 = importDataChanfile('Data_Chan1.txt');
size(DataChan1)
data=DataChan1(2:end,1:2);
size(data)
data
plot(data.Time,data.Amplitude)
function DataChan1 = importDataChanfile(filename, dataLines)
%IMPORTFILE Import data from a text file
% DATACHAN1 = IMPORTFILE(FILENAME) reads data from text file FILENAME
% for the default selection. Returns the data as a table.
%
% DATACHAN1 = IMPORTFILE(FILE, DATALINES) reads data for the specified
% row interval(s) of text file FILENAME. Specify DATALINES as a
% positive scalar integer or a N-by-2 array of positive scalar integers
% for dis-contiguous row intervals.
%
% Example:
% DataChan1 = importfile("C:\Users\kevinh\OneDrive - MathWorks\Desktop\Data_Chan1.txt", [19, Inf]);
%
% See also READTABLE.

%% Input handling
% If dataLines is not specified, define defaults
if nargin < 2
dataLines = [19, Inf];
end
%% Set up the Import Options and import the data
opts = delimitedTextImportOptions("NumVariables", 2);
% Specify range and delimiter
opts.DataLines = dataLines;
opts.Delimiter = "\t";
% Specify column names and types
opts.VariableNames = ["Time", "Amplitude"];
opts.VariableTypes = ["double", "double"];
% Specify file level properties
opts.ExtraColumnsRule = "ignore";
opts.EmptyLineRule = "read";
% Import the data
DataChan1 = readtable(filename, opts);
end
