Map certain specific values from excel file in a Genetic Algorithm

function x = mapvariables(x)
data=xlsread('newsections.xlsx'); %reading data from excel file.This excel file has 65 rows...
and 15 columns with each column depicting a certain property such as Area, radius etc
x1_2=data(:,7)'; %area is in the 7th column
X1_2=x1_2/10000;   % values in m^2
x(1) = X1_2(x(1)); % takes value from specified  area values
self_wt=data(:,9);
rmin=data(:,15);
MOIz=data(:,11);

I wish to run GA for the above part. My design variable is x(1). My problem is when I run GA and it takes a certain area, I also want to know corresponding self_wt,rmin etc. That is, I want to find the location of row from which area has been selected, so that I can get the values of rmin,self-wt etc for the corresponding row.

Dear Ace_ventura, can u please explain how to take values from an excel sheet & pass it on to objective func & constraint func, the running the GA code......please help....
