Hi! I am using this code: filename=uigetfile('.dat'); and data=readtable(filename); however, I am continuing to run into the error: Error using readtable (line 318) Unable to find or open 'Laura Data.dat'. Check the path and filename or file permissions. I attached some helpful screenshots, I would really like to have this issue resolved as I am trying to make some plots with the .dat file. Some help would be incredibly appreciated.

Try using the second output from uigetfile() as well, in order to refer to the full path of the file selected:
[filename,pathname] = uigetfile('.dat');
data = readtable(fullfile(pathname,filename));

Does the file 'C:\Users\Dev\data\entNames.xlsx' exist?
Also, please post your code.
It may be that you need to specify the full path properly, as in the original question and answer.
