I am trying to plot the cloumn 2 (amplitude) vs column 1 (time).
However, I am getting the same error:
Unable to find or open 'HUAM1709.041_v2'. Check the path and filename or file permissions.
Error in
data = readtable('HUAM1709.041_v2');
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Once I solve this inquiry I will be able to plot the other 2 amplitudes vs time.
Could you help yo identify the error?
Both .m file and excel file are in the same folder.
Attached will find excel file.
Thanks in advance.
T = data(:,1);
T = seconds(data(:,1));
T.Format = 'hh:mm';
T2 = data(:,2);
figure; % Place "figure" in this section allow to plot this data in a separate window.
plot (T,T2,'.');
title 'Accelerometer';
ylabel ('Amplitude');
xlabel ('Samples');

Use curly braces {} to access data in a table.
data = readtable('HUAM1709.041_v2.xlsx')
% return
T = data{:,1};
T = seconds(data{:,1});
T.Format = 'hh:mm';
T2 = data{:,2};
figure; % Place "figure" in this section allow to plot this data in a separate window.
plot (T,T2,'.');
title 'Accelerometer';
ylabel ('Amplitude');
xlabel ('Samples');
With those changes, you code works.

You need
data = readtable('HUAM1709.041_v2.xlsx');
When your provided filename has an extension, readtable does not attempt to add default extensions.
