Try sub2ind(): https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/sub2ind.html to convert from row and column number to a linear index. Something like this should work
M = readmatrix('filename.txt');
rows = M(:,1);
cols = M(:,2);
data = zeros(max(rows), max(cols));
ind = sub2ind(size(data), rows, cols);
data(ind) = M(:,3);
