reading excel and doing computation on the same excel with .exe created for the .m file

Hello, Please suggest thoughts on below:- I am looking for an executable file from the .m file which can allow me to take excel file as input from the user. In the same .m file I am doing some computation and displaying results. Currently I can take the excel file through the .exe using below command:-

[filename, pathname] = uigetfile({'*.xlsx'},'File selector');

After this I am adding both pathname and filename and using as address for the xlsread command like below- a = strcat(pathname, filename) data = xlsread('a','A3:A121')

but I failed to read the excel. Please let me know anything I am missing/doing wrong.

Thank you, Akshay

Answer 1

[ES]

data = xlsread('a','A3:A121') Why is a in quotes here??? It should be like below.

data = xlsread(a,'A3:A121')
