It depends how you’re importing the Excel file. If you use readtable, the header line (assuming only one) will be ‘VN’ in:

T1 = readtable('Your ExcelFile.xlsx', 'VariableNamingRule','preserve')

VN = T1.Properties.VariableNames;

If you’re using xlsread, it should be in the second output.

If you’re using readmatrix, all is lost, since the header lines will not be imported.

The second output should be a cell array of non-numeric information. You need to request the second and third outputs specifically. By default, only the first output will result if you only ask for one output. (The third output is a cell array of all the information.) You will need to extract the labels from the second or third output.

If you post the Escel file, I might be able to help with this. I cannot do anything without it.
