xlsread with linux

is there no support for opening special worksheets from an xls file with linux?

>> m=xlsread('mysheed.xlsx','L2010');
Error using xlsreadXLSX>sheetNameToIndex (line 210)
Worksheet 'L2010' not found.

Error in xlsreadXLSX>getXLSXData (line 130)
      sheetIndex = sheetNameToIndex(baseDir, sheet);

Error in xlsreadXLSX (line 9)
  [sharedStrings, parsedSheetData, range] = getXLSXData(file, sheet, range);

Error in xlsread (line 233)
          [numericData, textData, rawData] = xlsreadXLSX(file, sheet, range);

Do you have a reference for what a "special worksheet" is in Excel ? Is 'L2010' supposed to be a flag indicating Excel 2010 compatibility or something like that?

Also, which version of MATLAB are you using?

MATLAB Version: 7.14.0.739 (R2012a)

Calling it with int instead of string works fine

>> m=xlsread('sheet.xlsx',2);
