MATLAB: Create a Menu From Excel Data

Question

Is there a way in which you can create a menu that will take text strings from an Excel file and place them as the options for the menu, and if so how do I do that?

Answer 1

You can read the strings from the cells using XLSREAD, then use MENU to create the menu.

For example:

 [num,txt,raw] = xlsread('myfile.xls');
 choice = menu('Choose an item',txt)
