HOW To Import Data from Excel to matlab

I usually export the Excel spreadsheet as
space-delimited text document and import the created
file into Matlab using the "load" command. Of course,
I'm making it sound easier than it really is.

If the exported text file is more complicated than
just two simple columns, then you may have to read the
data line-by-line.

First you open the file using:

fid = fopen('myfile.txt');

then read the data with the "fscanf" command.

Finally, you close the file:

fclose(fid);

Again, I'm making it easier than it really is.--- BALAJI RAMAN <b...@yahoo.co.in>
