Importing data from a large CSV file based on a particular criteria

Hi Everyone!

Can u tell how to import data from an excel sheet based on conditions while using importdata.

My problem is the file size is too big for import. If I use entire selection, my laptop runs out of memory.

Or whenI load the data using import function, how do I filter it based on a condition and then import it as a table or matrix?

The structure of my file is as follows, I want rows related to a particular date only to be imported.

ID_frame TimeStamp MAC ID RSSI Vendor cod sync DeviceID

Hi,

would saving the excel sheet as a csv file be an option? Then you could open the file with fopen(), read line by line and keep only matching lines.
