Mismatch between file and format string.
Show older comments
Hi there,
I am trying to read the fifth column of attached .CSV file(from row 1377 to 1192) with this simple code:
data = csvread('semga.csv');
CLOSE = data(1377:1192,5);
But I get this error:
Error using dlmread (line 147)
Mismatch between file and format string.
Trouble reading 'Numeric' field from file (row number 1, field number 1) ==>
DATE,OPEN,HIGH,LOW,CLOSE,PRICE,YCLOSE,VOL,TICKS\n
Error in csvread (line 48)
m=dlmread(filename, ',', r, c);
Error in sorting (line 8)
data = csvread('semga.csv');
What is the problem and how can I fix it?
Accepted Answer
Hi,
use readtable, then extract the data from the variable CLOSE (=column named CLOSE) in ascending order:
data = readtable('semga.csv');
CLOSE = data.CLOSE(1191:1376);
Note that your table has only 1376 entries, since the first row are variable names. So i changed
(1192:1377)
to
(1191:1376)
CLOSE = flip(CLOSE)
Best regards
Stephan
