I have to read from an excel sheet many columns, and each column has to be assigned to a variable, for example first column is firstmatrix, etc. I wrote the following code but it only read one column. I have no idea how can I read all columns not manually!
[filename, pathname] = uigetfile('*.xlsx','Load Dataset');
if filename==0
msgbox('Please Choose Dataset','Error','Error')
return
end
A = xlsread(filename,'Sheet1','C17:C46');
disp(A);

Why don't you just read the entire sheet and extract data by column later? Don't know if the following is what you want but might give you some hint.
% Get all data from sheet
[~,~,alldata] = xlsread(filename,'Sheet1');
% Set column to variables
A = alldata(:,1);
B = alldata(:,2);
...etc,.
Or simply using a for-loop to iterate through columns of the alldata cell array to get what you are looking for.
Happy Scripting!

If you want all columns
A = xlsread(filename);
