Hi Stephen,

To upload an excel file so that you have access to it on MATLAB Online, you need to upload the file to MATLAB Drive.

You can access MATLAB Drive on the web without installing anything here:

https://drive.matlab.com/login

An upload should be as simple as clicking the 'upload' button after logging in, but if you have other questions regarding files that can be uploaded, look here:

Once you have uploaded your excel file, simply go to MATLAB Online ( https://matlab.mathworks.com/) and that file should be visible in the file tree on the left. You can then load it into your MATLAB workspace using the function xlsread.

I checked that this works with a simple excel file.

Hope this helps!

Hi Stephen:

There are multiple ways that you can upload files into MATLAB Online:

1) You can drag and drop the file into the Current Folder Browser in your MATLAB Online session. This will upload the file into what ever folder you are exploring in the CFB at the time.

2) You can also drag and drop your file into MATLAB Drive online, as indicated by Alex and Gopeshh above

Hope this helps!
