Hello, Is there any way I could get the name of of a specified excel sheet? For example, sheet=2; When I use xlsfinfo, sheet names will be displayed but not in the order of occurrence in an excel file. I appreciate your help.
Thank you

I had to change the extension because I was not allowed to attach 5 with the extension xlsx.
thank you.

So, what output do you get? And which version of matlab and which version of excel?
Note that matlab simply asks excel for the list of worksheets, so whatever order you get is the one returned by excel.
