Transforming cell from excel file into numeric matrix

I'm trying to transform a number from an excel file cell located at (381,6) into a 1 by 1 numeric matrix. I'm trying to use this code but its not working. Any help please. Below is my code and I'm sure I have done some unnecessary steps.

    T=readtable('Output_1.xls');
    T1=T{:,:};
    displ=T1(381,6);
    displ_final(i,1)=cell2mat(displ);

Using a table seems superfluous, did you try readmatrix?:

I think readmatrix is exclusive to 2019b version, mine is 2018a :(

Exactly, readmatrix is preffered, if you have latest version. If not you can try the following one

T=xlsread('Output_1.xls');
disp(T(381,6));

I have cheked with sample file, it works.
