The basic method for extracting data from Excel into Matlab is to use the xlsread() command. I would suggest reading all of the data you are interested in first, and then organizing the data within Matlab. At that point, moving the data is simply a matter of indexing and loops or condition statements.

Indexing is fairly simple. The super basics in two sentences is to use some form of brackets attached as a suffix to the array variable. Inside the brackets you need to have indicators for which element in which direction you want (i.e. first is row, second is column, then third dimension, fourth dimension, etc.).
data(1,3) % Element it first row, third column of array
data{1,3} % Element CONTENTS in first row, third column of cell array.
For your case you might be looking to do something like this:
rawdata = xlsread(filename,sheet,range);
data(2,1) = rawdata(2,8); % H2 to M1
