 Importing data from an Excel file
• Can be done in many ways:
• xlsread – reads xlsx files only.
• importdata – enables importing data from
many different formats.
• readtable - imports data from many different
formats into table structure.
• using import data wizard – very useful for
beginners. If importdata recognizes the file
extension, it calls the MATLAB
function designed to import the
associated file format. Otherwise,
importdata interprets the file as a
delimited text file. 4
 Importing data from an Excel file
[NUM,TXT,RAW]=xlsread(FILE) reads data from the first worksheet in the
Microsoft Excel spreadsheet file named FILE and returns the numeric data in array
NUM. Optionally, returns the text fields in cell array TXT, and the unprocessed data
(numbers and text) in cell array RAW.

Example:
my_data= xlsread('Log_U0006387_170201_740d0.xlsx');

Result of the above operation is stored in a numeric array. Non-numeric data were not
imported.

 Importing data from an Excel file
A = importdata(FILENAME) loads data into A.

Example:
my_data2=importdata('Log_U0006387_170201_740d0.xlsx');

Result of the above operation is stored in a struct structure.

 Importing data from an Excel file
T = readtable(FILENAME) creates a table by reading from the file
FILENAME, and determines the file format from its extension.

Example:
my_data3= readtable('Log_U0006387_170201_740d0.xlsx');

Result of the above operation is stored in a table structure.

Table is an array with named variables that can contain different types
