how to run multiple xlsx files once

Hello,

I have a code which use one xlsx file from source folder, analyzes it and creates file into destination folder.

I would like to use this code as it is, but use multiple xlsx files at once at the source folder, and creates all new files at once into the destination folder.

thanks

Without more details, you will need a loop to call the function for each file

You can use following steps:

% select path
work_path = uigetdir('pwd', 'Select folder');

% find all xlsx files in folder
% findfiles function can get in: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/172-findfiles
work_files      = findfiles('*.xlsx', work_path);    
num_file        = length(work_files);

for cnt_file=1:num_file
    %% analysis as your code
    % when want to get name of current excel file, use work_files(cnt_file), convert from cell to string if need
    
end

Hey,

thank you,

but I have a problem with "findfiles", it is an 'Undefined function or variable'.

do you know maybe why?

thanks

You can copy findfiles function to your source code.

--> It will be OK
