Hi everyone, I want to read two specific columns as a matrix with Matlab from an Excel sheet. I want to read columns H and I of rows 1 to 1096. They have the following format these columns:
H I
112018 6,7064
212018 6,7721
etc etc
The problem is that it returns a 1096x1 matrix with only the values in column I. This is the code I am using:
THS=xlsread('HSV_0h_TUGW','H1:I1096')
I hope you can help me solve. A greeting.

xlsread has four outputs, because you cannot mix numbers and text in the same array. I am guessing that there is text in the second column, so you will find this data in the second output. In the third output you will find everything, but in an 'inconvenient' format.
[num,txt,raw,custom]=xlsread('HSV_0h_TUGW','H1:I1096')
You can also try using readtable instead. readtable outputs a table, where one column can be text and another one numbers.
