Can't keep sig figs when reading an excel file into MatLab.

I have an excel file with numbers which are very precise, most have about 12 significant figures. When I read this file into MatLab, most of the information is lost and each element in the matrix has only about 3 to 5 significant figures.
How can I retain this information, while still working in MatLab.

Are you using
format long g
when you display the data ?
change the format in the command window and then it will be supported.
