Import Excel file to MATLAB

2 views (last 30 days)
I am trying to import a simple excel file for MATLAB but I'm having trouble with it. The file I want to import from excel is like this:
First row -> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Second row -> 0.802 0.802 0.802 0.802 0.802 0.802 0.802 0.802 0.802 0.802 0.802 0.802 0.802 0.802 0.802 0.802 0.802 0.802 0.802 0.802 0.802 0.802 0.802 0.802 I'm using the function xlsread but in all possible forms the matlab read the fraction part like a txt file. What is the function can I use to read this file like it is?

[v,T,vT]=xlsread('file.xls')
%v: numeric array class: double
%T: text array class cell
%vT: both numeric and text array class cell
%or
num=xlsread('file.xls') % num is numeric array

I see it's a text because you have dot(.) instead of comma(,)
use this to read your second rows
l2=cellfun(@(x) str2num(x),vT(2,:))
or go to your excel file, find and replace (.) by (,)
