I am working parallel with Excel and VBA in order to create txt files I wish to use for MATLAB. However, I experience some format issues I can't resolve.
For instance, the following VBA
Open "example.txt" For Output As #1
For i = 1 To 5
Print #1, Sheets("Example").Cells(i + 3, 3)
Next i
Indeed prints numbers (reals) it is supposed to however MATLAB struggles with reading this example .txt file.
There are some characters VBA is printing. I don't know how to delete those within a VBA code or tell somehow Matlab how to read this file
Example.txt opened in matlab. Note the NaN read by MATLAB from a text file:

It occurs when the file has special characters or space. Matlab converts them as NaN which means Not a Number if the file has numeric data and text.
