fileToRead = fullfile('C:\Users\Untitled Spreadsheet.xlsx');
circa1 = xlsread(fileToRead);

'xlsread' returns 3 outputs -
[numOnly, textOnly, rawDataInCellArray] = xlsread(xlFile);
If you need the data in only cell array format, use the below style :
[~, ~, mydata] = xlsread(xlfile);
Please try 'help xlsread' to get more info.
