the data comes in this form matlab.JPG
how can i seperate datetime in one column and reading in other seperate columns. i would be so grateful if someone could help me out in this

This is perhaps a bit more complicated than it might be, however readtable does not import it properly, so other approaches are necessary:
[D,S] = xlsread('example.csv');
dtts = table(datetime(S(2:end,1), 'InputFormat', 'dd-MM-yy hh:mm:ss a ''GMT''', 'TimeZone', 'UTC'),'VariableNames',S(1,1));
dt = array2table(D, 'VariableNames',S(1,2:end));
T1 = [dtts,dt];
T1_Sample = T1(1:5,:) % Delete Later
producing:
T1_Sample =
5×8 table
timestamp MWS_TOTAL NEB_RWP1_Ladies_Flow_Meter NEB_CWS_METER NEB2_CWS_GENTS_FLOW NEB_CWS_LADIES_FLOW NEB_HWS_LADIES_FLOW NEB_MWS_1ST CANTEEN
